ABSTRACT:
The present invention is a method and apparatus for an interactive game that provides critical thinking, character and value development. The game for a plurality of participants comprises a playing surface having a plurality of playing regions. Each of the plurality of playing regions represents a different value category. The game also comprises a plurality of decks of playing cards. One side of each playing card in each deck displays a topic corresponding to a respective one of the value categories. The game further comprises a plurality of gamepieces, each assigned to one of the plurality of participants. Each of the gamepieces marks a playing position of the corresponding participant on the playing surface. In one embodiment, each surface of the dice has a color corresponding to the color of one of the decks of cards. During play, the selection of the deck from which a card is drawn is determined by the color of the surface of the dice that is cast. The participant then has a predetermined length of time to discuss or analyze the topic provided on the card. Value and character development of participants may be enhanced through the participation and guidance of a coordinator, parent or educator.
