I miss being so bored that you invent such games. I need to pack myself off for a holiday and leave my digital life behind for a few days, maybe where there is a piano and a nice view to paint.

Interesting variant. I might program it for some of the «Rock-Paper-Scissors extensions» here:

Some of the extensions would need polyhedral dices:

Sometimes I think I'm the only person on the planet that grew up knowing it as "Rock Scissors Paper".

I still defend that as the best name in English. Rock needs to go first. Rock beats Scissors beats Paper. It's the most straightforward order.

If you call it Rock-Paper-Scissors it still follows logically:

Rock loses to Paper loses to Scissors

Ditto with Snakes and Ladders and the Goose game (juego de la oca in Spanish), with a similar gameplay. And Yahtzee.
