Rule 1: In the Scissors Variation, the classic RPS triumvirate is replaced with three new, more nuanced options: Scissors, Variations, and... Variations.
Rule 2: Scissors beats Paper, but only if it's a fancy schmancy scissor with a built-in paper clipper.
Rule 3: Variations beats Scissors, unless it's a variation of Scissors, in which case it's a draw.
Rule 4: Paper, in all its forms, is now a sentient being and will only be beaten by the most fashionable Scissors.
Rule 5: If you challenge a human to a game, they will inevitably choose Paper, because humans are boring.
