thumb war
Finger wrestling match
Thumb war is a simple game in which two players interlock their fingers, leaving thumbs free, and try to pin the opponent's thumb down for a count.
Often preceded by a chanted rhyme: One, two, three, four, I declare a thumb war.
The game settles minor disputes or passes idle time.
