Dice game

Abstract

A dice game configured to play the game of rock, paper, and scissors. The game provides a manner to eliminate any human planning or strategy by providing a pair of dice with depictions of a rock and paper and scissors thereon. Each of two players rolls one of the pair of dice and according to a set of rules one prevails based on the depiction rolled by that player, or a rule based manner to break a tie. Colorized dice provide a manner to determine which player rolled which depiction in the event the dice are thrown out of the view of either or both players.
