This represents
ROCK, PAPER, SCISSORS!
Where
<is scissors,▭is paper and▢is rock.
The→ • ←at the top tells us to look at the middle symbol in the diagram, and indeed the column on the right shows which of the two other symbols is the winner:
< ▢ ▭ ▭paper beats rock
< ▭ ▢ <scissors beats paper
▢ < ▭ ▢rock beats scissors
▢ ▭ < <scissors beats paper
▭ ▢ < ▭paper beats rock
▭ < ▢ ▢rock beats scissors
As for the title
The game is played with your hand, nothing else is needed!

$\begingroup$ each row has 3 symbols. How are you deciding which two are playing? in this answer you have 2 beats 3, 1 beats 3, 3 beats 2 and so on. Why? $\endgroup$ Commented Oct 15 at 19:30

2$\begingroup$ @KateGregory, the → • ← tells us the middle symbol is the one playing, and then the symbol on the right is the one that beats the middle one $\endgroup$ Commented Oct 15 at 20:18

1$\begingroup$ @KateGregory correct. I'm assuming the reason it's displayed as it is where you pick left or right is the list is just a list off all 6 possible ways to arrange the 3 $\endgroup$ Commented Oct 15 at 21:14
