Question

What are taps with the hand?

Answer 1

Chopsticks (hand game)

The goal of Chopsticks is to knock out the other opponent's "hands" by giving both hands five or more points thus "knocking out" the hands.

Each finger is equivalent to one point. Each player starts out with two points (one finger on each hand). A player must tap a hand in order to give it points. When a player taps an opponent's hand, the player adds what the opponent originally had on his hand and what is on the player's hand to get the sum of the fingers that your opponent has on his hand. A player's hands do not change when the opponent's hand is tapped. The option of being able to transfer points from one hand to another is available. For example, if a player had three points on his or her right hand and one on his or her left, the player could rearrange them to have two on each hand. The points must be distributed differently after they tap their hands together; a player may not simply swap which fingers are on which hands.

The players take turns giving each other points. Both hands of an opponent must be knocked out (both hands receive five or more points) in order for a victory. This is called a dead hand. If a single hand receives five or more points, the hand is eliminated (an eliminated hand is equivalent to zero points) and the hand is useless unless it is revived by transferring points from a hand that is alive. An opponent cannot revive or tap an eliminated hand.
