1-2-3

Talk about simple. The computer picks a number between 1 and 3. You just have to guess which one. Guess right and you get the points. Guess wrong and the computer does. The twist? Every time a number is played, its value goes up one point. So it’s like Rock, Paper, Scissors with escalating stakes. Play Classic Mode, Genius Mode, or make it personal and take on a friend. Now at first, you’ll probably be like, “This game is so random! I’m just picking numbers.” But then you’ll start to notice that – like you -- both bots have tendencies that can be exploited, and each battle turns into a chess match. Whoever said “It’s as easy as 1-2-3” clearly never played this game. It’s psychological warfare in the palm of your hand! P.S. If the bot is trouncing you early on, do NOT give up! As you’ll see in How To Play, the game has a special comeback mechanism where no matter how crappy you’re playing, all you have to do is win the 10th round to force Overtime. You then get to keep playing until either: the bot beats you one more time, OR you pull off the comeback of the century (and in 1 million simulations those comebacks happened about 30% of the time!).
