Muk-jji-ppa is a variant of the two-player game rock paper scissors. It originated in South Korea. The name and basic idea of Muk-Jji-Ppa is known to be originated from Japan after the victory of the Russo-Japanese war.

Each person starts with a regular rock paper scissors game. The current winner has to say their next hand and change their hand to the corresponding one.[clarification needed] This is usually done by shouting. The point is to get your opponent to make the same hand as you and then you win. However, if your hands don't match, the new winner then calls out their next hand and the process starts over. Both parties then call out the next two possible once someone wins.[1]

묵 (Muk)=Rock, 찌 (Jji)=Scissors, 빠 (Ppa)=Paper[2]
