In Strip Rock-Paper-Scissors - Ghost Edition, humans are not defenseless. If you throw Rock, Paper, or Scissors and your opponent throws Ghost, you can counteract by yelling a “ward”:
But there’s a catch: you can only use Salt or Iron once every three rounds. Otherwise, the Ghost becomes “enraged” and takes two items from you on the next haunt.
Before each round, players chant together:
“Living hand… Spirit land… Rock… Paper… Scissors… GHOST!”
On “GHOST,” players reveal their chosen move.
If both reveal standard moves (Rock, Paper, Scissors), normal rules apply. Loser removes one item.
If one player reveals Ghost and the other reveals a standard move, the Ghost player wins immediately—unless the standard player shouts “SALT!” or “IRON!” within two seconds.
Shoes and socks are low-value. Protect your shirt and pants. If you’re losing, offer to remove a shoe first to bait your opponent into overconfidence. Then strike with Ghost x2.
For the intrepid souls looking to host a session of Ghost Edition, professional (or at least experienced) players suggest the following tactics:
One player is the “Necromancer” and cannot strip. Instead, every time they win, they revive a stripped item to another player (who must put it back on). The Necromancer changes every 5 rounds.

This implementation provides a basic structure for the game. You can enhance it by adding more spirits, moves, and features to create a more engaging experience.
After three consecutive losses, either player can invoke The Cold Spot. The ghost must pass a hand through the human's remaining clothing without touching it. If the ghost succeeds (quick, cold draft), the human removes two items. If the ghost fails (tangible hand on skin), the ghost loses the sheet entirely on the spot.
