ABSTRACT:
A game method and apparatus is disclosed. In the game, players use a game board, sets of response cards, board place markers, and a plurality of scenario cards containing brief situation descriptions and potential responses. Taking turns, players read a selected scenario card to another player. The latter player then decides which one of four possible responses best represents what he or she would truly do if faced with the described situation, and secretly indicates the choice with a response card. At the same time, all other players in the game predict how the player will respond by similarly choosing an appropriate response card. After players have all privately made their choices, they then reveal their responses. Accordingly, all players have an opportunity to then move their place markers around the board, depending on the responses given. Specifically, for a player responding to a scenario card, moves forward a number of spaces equal to the total number of players who correctly predict his or her response. Further, players who correctly predict the action of the player responding to a scenario also move their place markers a consistently specified number of spaces forward on the board. Thus, all players actively participate and have an opportunity to move forward on every turn of the game. Turns rotate among the players such that everyone has an opportunity to read and to respond to scenario cards. A player wins the game by being first to land his or her place marker on the center space.
