Flathand / Wreath

Flathand

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Flathand is a game invented in 1987 by the children of Rick and Kathy Zeroth. The game's primary purpose is to pass time during boring church services, most notably lengthy sermons about herds of sheep and damnation, but can be played in almost any situation or environment providing that it's mundane in nature and the participating members all have at least one hand. The conventional method of play requires at least 2 players but solo competitions are possible pitting right hand against left hand. The rules of the game are as follows:

1. Attempt to make your hand as flat as possible.

2. Once you believe your hand is perfectly flat, try to make it even flatter.

3. Show your flathand to your brother sitting to your right.

4. Have your brother attempt to make his hand even flatter than your hand.

5. If he cannot, congratulations! You've just won flathand! Go back to step #1. If he's successful, proceed to step #6.

6. Have your brother show his flathand to your sister sitting on your left.

7. Have your sister attempt to make her hand even flatter than your brother's hand.

8. If she cannot, congratulations! Your brother has just won flathand! Go back to step #1. If she's successful, proceed to step #9.

9. Attempt to make your hand even flatter than your sister's hand.

10. If you cannot, congratulations! Your sister has just won flathand! Go back to step #1. If you're successful, repeat step #3.
