The History Of Rock Paper Scissors
What are the origins of Rock Paper Scissors (RPS)?
Why was it also called Roshambeau?
That's another interesting question. A lot of people, at the United States Association for Rock Paper Scissors (USARPS) League specifically, point back to comte de Rochambeau, who led the French Expeditionary Forces in the American Revolutionary War, and although his name was Rochambeau, there is no real strong tie linking him with the game. You don't see statues of him holding the scissors out, or anything like that. So, again, that's another element of the sport shrouded in the mysteries of time; the world may never know, but there is a tie there, and if we knew more about that, we'd know a lot more about ourselves.
How is American Rock Paper Scissors different from Janken or other international versions of the game?
