Rock, paper, scissors
A simple, entertaining Rock Paper Scissors infographic which illustrates many of the points of a good instructional diagram: intuitively accessible images classified by color and shape, simple wording, a clear course (yet with the option for the leisured reader to pursue sidebars), a strong implied story, and logical development through the course of reading. Ending with the left field "Spock move" introduces humor and surprise - and helps retention - without taking away from the value of the piece. The equivalent of a page of text but faster - and probably more effective. Don't overlook the Download Full Size option to print it out for fledging RPS players in your circle.
