World Rock Paper Scissors Day
The World Rock Paper Scissors Association established this day in 2014 to encourage people to play this game.
According to them, this game can help focus, concentrate, and control the mind. "Rock, Paper, Scissors" is considered the oldest hand game in the world.
It dates back to the Chinese Han Dynasty, which began in 206 BC and ended in 220 AD. The earliest version included a slug, a snake, and a frog, while the modern one appeared only in the 17th century. Eventually, "Rock, Paper, Scissors" made its way to Great Britain in the 1920s, and the rules of the game were published in the "New York Times" in 1932.
