What are your favorite hand games? (lemmy.world)

Games you only need your hands and other players to play.

We all know rock paper scissors, thumbwars and chopsticks but I'm looking for niche.

There's many obscure or local ones that get passed down through generations or shared around the playground and I'd love to learn something new.

How about eye games? Because Laser Eyes!

Stand in a circle with a group and have one person call out the actions EYES DOWN and then EYES UP. When your eyes are down, choose a person to look at when you raise your eyes. If they also choose to look at you, you both scream in fake pain and die a dramatic death on the ground. You're out, but you got to be silly for a moment there, so that was kinda fun

Play continues until one or two people remain. I forget if there's an in-game way to break ties. Maybe you both win? Sure! Kids love it, though the screams can be ear-splitting
