  • Patent number: 4635939
    Abstract: Game playing apparatus consists of a set of question cards bearing moral questions to which a positive, negative, or indeterminate answer may be given. Also provided is a set of answer cards, each bearing an answer selected from a positive, negative and indeterminate answer. Each player has a number of question cards, and one randomly selected answer card. His object is to select a question and one of the other players to answer it in such manner that the answer he receives matches the answer given on the answer card that he holds. In such case, he advances toward winning by disposing of the question card without replacing it with a fresh question card. The skill in playing therefore lies in a questioner anticipating which of the players is most likely to give the desired answer to a particular moral question. Those answering questions can use their skill to guess what type of answer is hoped for and to thwart the qustioner by giving another answer from the three types.
