Robot Jock, Paper, and Scissors
Both contestants will be Robot Jox representing of the two great powers, (players decide), they will then get take turns choosing from 3 Weapons. It’s rock paper scissors but they don’t know what weapon represents what. Scores are calculated and the most damage done to the opponent wins!
Be careful, a Canadian Spy is afoot and has laid traps on a few of the weapons. Choosing one of those is an instant loss of the round!
Alice Note - this one doesn't translate to a webpage as well, so listen to the episode to see how this battle plays out!
