ABSTRACT:
A compatibility game provides a series of questions in several categories relating to personal traits and characteristics, which a player may ask of two or more respondents. The player provides a numerical value for each response, in accordance with the degree to which that response agrees with the needs and desires of the player. The aggregate numerical response totals may be added and/or averaged to provide a relative ranking of compatibility between the player and each of the respondents. The present game is primarily intended for use between members of the opposite sex, with a player being of one sex (e.g., male) and the plural respondents being of the sex opposite the questioning player. While the game is primarily intended for entertainment purposes, it can serve as a way to "break the ice" at various gatherings, and for individuals to get to know more about one another and their common interests, or even provide some insight to the player as to potential partners. The game is well adapted for computer play, depending upon the specific program required for a given operating system and hardware, or alternatively may be played as a board game.
