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.

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