It's simple.
Jun-Ken-Po (that's paper-scissors-stone) as a pair (oh yes, it does get bigger- I've seen entire football teams Jun-Ken-Po for the pleasure of the keeper's gloves).
The winner points a finger at the loser's nose. You can waggle it a bit too, if you feel inclined.
The winner says, "Achi Mee-tei, HOI !' and points up, down, left or right. (It means 'Look over there, HOI !')
The loser looks up, down left or right as the winner says 'HOI !'.
If the loser looks the same way as the winner points, he gets a flick on the forehead, like you might flick a large spider off your coffee cup rim.
'Slaps', 'Knuckles', 'Achi Mee-tei HOI !'... I guess it's a universal thing. I'm quite glad, on reflection, that Kouta (the 92kg prefecture judo champion) didn't quite grasp the rules of 'Knuckles' when I tried to teach him it a while back.
When I learned about the "achi mitei hoi" variation, it was a drinking game... Made the night quite interesting.
