Basically, when someone touches your hand, you have to add 1 finger. Choose to touch your own hands or someone else's hand. When it is your turn, if you have more than 1 finger extended on each hand, you can choose to touch someone else or touch your hands together. These are the only two moves you can make. You can't skip your turn. If you choose to touch your hands together, you will need to add together the number of fingers and then split them between your hands.
Part 2. Tap the opponent's hand as infrequently as possible. For example, when your opponent starts the game and taps your hand, split to 3 on 1 hand and 0 on the other. At this point, your opponent has no choice but to tap your hand again. If they don't, they would eventually cause an instant win for you. Win even if your opponent starts by splitting 2,0. Of course, there is always the person that thinks that they're tricky by starting out splitting to 2,0 as their first move.
This situation, however, can be forced into a win as well. Once your opponent splits 2,0, tap their 2 hand. If you try to split 2,0 as well your opponent will just split back to 1,1 and it will go in a never-ending loop. From 3,0 your opponent has to split to 2,1, you then split to 2,0.
Their only option is to hit you with their 2 hand to be 4,0. Now you split to 2,2. Your opponent will then have no choice but to tap your 2. Then you will be left with 3,3. Split to 2,4, your opponent will tap out your 4, and then you split 1,1 and 1,1 against just one finger is an easy win.
Split your 3 hand 2,1. Once your opponent taps your 3 hand, you have two options to split 2,2 or 3,1. It is ideal to split 3,1 because the game will be won more rapidly.
From 3,1, assume your opponent taps your 3 hand. You are left with 4,1. It is then ideal to split 3,2. You split 1,1 and 1,1 against just one finger is an easy win. Tap your opponent's 3 hand.
If your opponent taps your 2 hand you will be left with 3,3. Next, tap either hand with a 3. Your opponent will be left with 4,1. If your opponent splits to 3,2, tap their 2 hand. From this point your opponent has to split their 3. You will then tap their 2, your opponent will tap one of your hands and then you will win.
Tap the player's 2 hand if your opponent splits 3,2. If your opponent splits to 3,2 it is ideal tap out their 2 hand. Then your opponent will have no choice but to split to 2,1. Then, tap out their 2 hand. Your opponent has no choice but to tap your 2 hand. Then, it is ideal to split to 4,2. Your opponent will then tap your 4 hand, you split 1,1 and 1,1 against just one finger is an easy win. Tap the players 4 hand if you are left with a 2 hand.
If your opponent taps your 2 hand, you tap their 4 hand and you are left with 3,0. Your opponent will have to tap you again, which will give you 4,0. Then, you win by tapping their hand. Split 2,2 if your opponent taps your 2 hand. If your opponent taps your 2 hand, split to 2,2.

From there you split 1,1 and 1,1 against just one finger is an easy win. Split 3,1 if your opponent taps your 1 hand.
If your opponent taps your 1 hand, split to 3,1. Your opponent will have to tap your 1 hand. From 3,2, tap their hand with your 2. Win from 1,1 against 1,0. This is one of the easiest wins in the game. Your opponent will tap one of your hands leaving you with 2,1. Split to 3,0, your opponent will be forced to tap your 3 leaving you with 4,0.
Finally, you tap their hand to win the game. Part 3. Redistribute before you reach 5 fingers on one hand. Revive a dead hand by splitting. Take one of your turns to touch your hands together in order to get both hands back in the game.
Call out players that try to split uneven numbers. The players can only split a finger count in half. If they have 2,0, they can split it 1,1. If they have 3,1, they can split it 2,2.
If they have 3,2, they can't split it because there's no way to split five fingers in half. Prevent other people from splitting by pointing this out. This will cause them to lose the game faster.
Don't stop being good at something to appease other people! Be humble and conscientious of your bragging, especially if people are becoming short or annoyed with you. You can have three players, or you could have a whole circle of players. Everyone should stand in a circle and face toward the middle so that everyone's hands are visible. Take turns going clockwise or counterclockwise, and keep in mind that you aren't limited to only tapping the people directly next to you.
This method requires much more focus to win. With so many people playing, there may be a person with a hand about to reach five fingers who splits their fingers and it goes unnoticed by the group. Make sure that everyone is following the same set of rules before starting. There is no wrong way to play but make sure everyone is in agreement with rules before starting a round. Increase the mathematical difficulty by adding nubs. Rather than having fully extended fingers for the whole game, you can used curled fingers or "nubs.
Decide if nubs are allowed at the beginning of the game. A desperate player will often add the nubs variant when they are about to lose. An example for splitting fingers into nubs can look like this: there are two fingers on your left hand and three on your right. If you split them, you can put 2. Nubs are most beneficial for when you have a total uneven amount of fingers. You must complete someone's nub in order to make it a full finger.
To make a dead hand you must have five full fingers, not four full fingers and one nub. Use leftovers to make the game last longer. A hand does not die but instead stays in the game or comes "back to life" when a tapped hand exceeds five fingers in a turn. When using leftovers, you can add three and four fingers together to get 7 fingers, which equals a dead hand plus two more. Sometimes this variation is called "zombies. The only option for a dead hand is that it equals exactly five fingers when tapped.
