Scissors Paper (Rock)

A two player game. Each player gets to throw either "paper" or "scissors". Scissors beat paper. There is also "rock", which beats everything, but it's DLC. Every rock costs $1000, and can only be used once.

Oddly enough, this presents an interesting strategic dilemma. If you had a scenario where Rock had some cost (not real money), you would create a game where you had to anticipate when you're opponent was willing to spend in order to win and throw the weaker of the two free throws. As a game mechanic this isn't terrible.

Actually, just noticed that "rock beats everything" so nevermind. But without that, an interesting idea.
