Vlaada Chvatil appeared on the scene 2006 with a vengeance, and 2007 a small game called Rock – Weapons – Paper, only published in Slovakian/Czech language.

Despite the title this game is not an unconditional betting game. Each player has his own small board and builds a castle out of wooden blocks, the castle must have 6 towers, 5 walls and 2 gates, one entry gate and one connection gate between the courts.  

Rock, scissors, paper are resources – rocks are used to build the castle, paper buys economic improvements and weapons assist against fellow players.

At the start of a round you receive a fixed amount of resources, to get more of them one has to fight. Battle cards are turned up, each player has to play the attacker once and the defender once in a round of Rock-Weapons-Paper. The winner receives the resources depicted on the card with which he won from his losing opponent. If rock wins against weapons, you receive rocks– so one has to bet selectively. To win with rock is quite useless if your opponent has no rocks. After battle players buid for cards, bidding for card combinations is possible, too. For weapon cards 1-3 action cards are available to be used in battle. The player winning a bid must implement the card exactly. If necessary, one can tear down a wall for the cost of one Rock. After card implementation it is your neighbour’s turn to bid for remaining cards. The first player to complete his castle wins the game.

This is a rather tactical game despite the seemingly very high amount of luck, with surprising turnabouts and lots of excitement.
