The classic odds or evens, with a fair draw

Odds or Evens is the classic hand game used to decide luck or break a tie. You pick a side, odds or evens, and throw 0 to 5 fingers at the same time as your opponent; if the sum of fingers matches the side you chose, you win. In this version the computer throws its number with `crypto.getRandomValues`, the browser's cryptographic generator, ensuring an unbiased match. There's hand animation, finger selection by tap and a win/loss scoreboard saved in your browser. It's the perfect way to relive the playground game on any device.

  1. Choose whether you want odds or evens.
  2. Tap the number of fingers you want to throw, from 0 to 5.
  3. See the computer's hand, check the sum and follow the scoreboard each round.
