When encountering another player, the two players can fight or trade. If fighting, a traditional game of Rock, Paper, Scissors using the cards, with ties being null outcomes. Either player can decline a subsequent fight. If trading, each player can reveal as much or as little information as desired, but must be truthful, before making a trade. There are no limits on the number of trades allowed. At the end of the convention, the player with the greatest numerical value of cards wins.
