What are your favorite hand games? (lemmy.world)

Games you only need your hands and other players to play.

We all know rock paper scissors, thumbwars and chopsticks but I'm looking for niche.

There's many obscure or local ones that get passed down through generations or shared around the playground and I'd love to learn something new.

The version of bloody knuckles that we had at school was you put your fist on the table vertically, knuckles towards your opponent. Then you take turns flicking a coin at each other's knuckles.

Hmm, I remember that one too but I just remember it being called "quarters," since they were largest, heaviest coin with an abrasive edge, so that's what was used.
