Post a Comment On: Internal Monologue

You'd think a game so simple wouldn't need a strategy guide, but of course thanks to the Web it has one (HT: Sullivan). Of course, it also has an extensive Wikipedia entry. My favorite bit the section about variations of this game from different cultures:
For example in Japan there is a variation which uses a tiger, a chief and the chief's mother as the three elements (the tiger beating the chief's mother, the chief beating the tiger and the chief's mother beating the chief). In Indonesia another version is played with the elements as an elephant, a man and an ant (the elephant crushing the man, the man crushing the ant and ant humorously defeating the elephant by crawling into the animal's ear and making it go insane).
It also has competitive tournaments with cash prizes. And I thought my hobbies were a bit silly.
