Janken, which is a very simple game and it is usually used as a coin-toss in Japan, originated in China, and many variants are seen throughout the world. A variant of janken can be represented by a tournament, where a vertex corresponds a sign and an arc (x,y) means signxdefeats signy. However, not all tournaments define useful janken variants, i.e., some janken variants may include a useless sign, which is strictly inferior than another sign in any case. We first shows that for any positive integernexcept 2 and 4, we can construct a janken variant withnsigns without useless signs. Next we introduces a measure of amusement of janken variants by using the variation of the difference of out-degree and in-degree. Under this measure, we show that a janken variant has the best amusement among ones withnsigns if and only if it corresponds to one of the tournaments defined by J. W. Moon in 1993. Following these results, we present a janken variant “King-fles-janken,” which is the best amusing janken variant among ones with five signs.
