007 (game)
007 (also known as James Bond, shotgun,[1] standoff[2] and other names) is a hand game similar to Rock–paper–scissors. It is played with at least 2 people. The objective of the game is to be the last player alive.[3]
Playing the game
Before players perform their turn they commonly slap their lap twice and (in some variants) chant double-o-seven.[4]
Rules
The game generally consists of 3 moves: gun, shield and reload (sometimes called Power up). In the game, shield protects the player from gun. Reload reloads the gun so you can use it for a turn. To kill a player you must shoot a loaded gun at a player and they must be either reloading or using gun. If you both shoot gun at each other you both die in most variants of the game.[2][3]
Moves
Shield
To perform the shield move you put your arms in an "x" shape in front of your chest.[2][3][4]
Gun
To perform the gun move you put your hand in a gun gesture. This is achieved by putting your two hands together, interlocking all your fingers but your thumb and pointer finger, then you raise your thumbs up and extending your pointer fingers forwards.[2][3]
Reload
To reload you make a thumbs up gesture with both your hands and move your hand up and behind you 90 degrees. Your thumbs should be pointing behind you and your hands should be above your shoulders. In some variants you only need to use one hand.[2][3]
Names
The names James Bond and 007 are from James Bond.
Strategies
It is common for players to reload for their first turn as shield is useless as no one has a loaded gun to shoot you with and you can't use gun because your gun isn't loaded.[4][2]
