There are several ways to make the game repeat.

But an easy one would be to put the call to game() on the bottom line inside a loop that includes the repeat question:

again = 'y'
while (again == 'y') :
    game()
    again = input('Do you want to play again (y/n)? ').lower()

I'm not quite sure what you mean about "not repeat as much", though. Since there are only 3 choices, there's a 33% chance it will be the same as last time.

It just seems repetitive to list them out for every single one. Is there anyway to shorten it?

To list what out? The three choices ([R]ock, [P]aper, [S]cissors)? That seems pretty reasonable.

But if you really hated that, instead of having it in the prompt, you could print it out just one time before the game, and then make the game prompt just be "Pick: ".
