2. Once someone wins, they become the attacker and the other player becomes the defender
3. The two then rhythmically show either 묵 (muk), 찌 (jji) or 빠 (ppa).
4. The attacker must shout their move each turn before they make it
5. The game ends when either:

The defender plays the same move as the attacker, who wins

or

The attacker shouts a word which doesn't match the hand sign

묵 (muk)=Rock, 찌 (jji)=Scissors, 빠 (ppa)=Paper
