Games: How to Play the Finger Game

This game is fun for any car ride and the only object needed are hands and is also know as 'Chopsticks'.

Steps

Put one finger out on each hand and hold them out in front of you.
Have someone else do the same thing and get them to sit across from you.
Decide who goes first for the game.
The first person taps one of their fingers on the other person's hand.
The second person puts up two fingers on the hand the first person touched. This is to signal 1 + 1 = 2. You may also tap your own hand with the same effect.
The second person taps one of the first person's hands (or one of his own hands) with either of their hands. Add the number of fingers on the tapping hand and the receiving hand, and the receiving hand puts up that many fingers.
- If five fingers should be put up on one hand, then that hand is out. Make it into a fist. If you have the sum total to 6, you get one finger, 7 two fingers, 8 3 fingers etc. Note: you may not get your own hand out.
- If one hand is out and you have an even number on the other hand, you may split evenly between the two hands to get that hand back in. For example, if one or your hands has 4 fingers up and the other hand is out, you may "revive" the out hand and put up 2 fingers on each hand. This takes your turn.
Play alternates until a player gets both hands out, and so loses the game.

Variation: You are not out if someone hits you and you have more than 5. Your hand just starts over.
Variation: You may not tap your own hands to add fingers; you may only tap your opponent's hands.
