Finger Picker

Everyone puts one finger on the screen. A moment later, the screen picks. Coffee runs, forfeits and turn order, settled.

How to play

Put the phone or tablet in the middle and everyone touches the screen with one finger. With two or more fingers down, hold still for about three seconds. If anyone lifts or adds a finger, the countdown restarts.

Fair?

The pick is made with the browser's cryptographic random numbers the moment the countdown ends.
