Triad Tactics
About Triad Tactics
Rock, paper and scissors decide every exchange, and the twist is that you are judging rather than choosing. Two symbols appear and you click whichever one wins the matchup, which sounds trivial until the pace increases and the pairs start arriving faster than the rule can be recalled deliberately. Knowing that scissors beat paper is not the same as knowing it in half a second. Anyone who has played the hand game will recognise the rules and be surprised by how quickly they stop being automatic.
How to Play
- Look at the two symbols presented.
- Click the one that beats the other.
- Learn the cycle as a loop rather than as three separate rules.
- Keep a rhythm rather than pausing to reason each pair out.
