How to Play the Quick Draw Game

If you have a party and need a fun icebreaker game, play the quick draw game. This game is an extended version of a game most of your guests probably played in their childhood called Rock, Paper, Scissors. Before you know it, your guests will be mingling with one another and having a great time.

Instructions

- 1
  Explain to your guests the signs used in the game at the draw. The draw occurs when the players hear the signal and extend their choice of hand sign. A fist stands for rock, holding the hand open and flat with the palm facing down stands for paper and extending the first two fingers in an open position stands for scissors.
- 2
  Tell your guests the winning hand positions. A rock wins because it smashes scissors, scissors win because they cut paper and paper wins because it covers a rock. Both players choosing the same hand position results in a tie. Redo the round to decide a winner.
