Old Video Of World's Most Intense 'Rock, Paper, Scissors' Game Has 14 Million Views

'Rock, paper, scissors' is a classic game that is played between two people who form the three shapes with an outstretched hand. Like every other game, it has three scenarios - a draw, a win or a loss. The popular game is played for passing time, but a 2016 video going viral shows an overwhelmed player in Japan celebrating her moment of win, earning it the title of the "best video on the internet".

'Rock, paper, scissors' is called Janken in Japan and was part of an event organised by pop group AKB48 to determine who will appear on their next record, according to Mashable India.
