ABSTRACT:
A cards and dice game to develop public speaking ability is disclosed. The game provides a single die which is rolled to determine the order of play. Timing and grammar judges are selected. The players take turns as speaker in sequence. Each player begins each turn by selecting a card from a stack of cards, wherein each card has a plurality of speaking topics on the card. The player then rolls the die to determine which speaking topic on the card is to be used. The player receives 1 point for every second of speech. A maximum speaking time of 3 minutes and 180 points is allowed. Points are deducted by the grammarian for speech fillers such as "ummms" and "ahhhs", and for pauses. Ten points are lost where the speaker strays from the topic.
