Muk-jji-ppa (Korean: 묵찌빠) is a variant of the two-player game rock paper scissors. It originated in South Korea.
- The game starts with an ordinary game of rock paper scissors (가위바위보).[1]
- Once someone wins, they become the attacker and the other player becomes the defender
- The two then rhythmically show either muk (묵), jji (찌) or ppa (빠).
- The attacker must shout their move each turn before they make it
- The defender loses if they play the same move as the attacker. The attacker loses if they shout a word that doesn't match the hand sign
