Janken

This is simplest possible game for establishing a winner and a loser, and it is the first game that Japanese children learn. No equipment is required to play it. It takes no time at all, and you can see it being played all over Japan at all times of the day and night. Where people in Western countries would toss a coin, the Japanese play Janken.
