 Method and apparatus for interpretive game

Details
Inventors: Pavis, Jesse A.;
Assignee:
Primary Examiner: Pinkham; Richard C.
Assistant Examiner: Strappello; Harry G.
Attorney, Agent or Firm: Darby & Darby

A method and apparatus for playing a game by posing a question to a player to elicit one of several possible responses, each of the possible responses having an answer value differing from answer values of other responses, the answer value of the selected answer determining the player's change of position in the game. The questions presented may relate a dream and its context, and require the player to select one of several possible interpretations. His playing position is adjusted in proportion to the accuracy of the selected interpretation. The questions presented may be broken into subsets, each subset comprising questions of comparable difficulty. The subset from which the question for that playing turn will be taken may be determined in such manner that the likelihood of selecting a subset with questions of higher difficulty is smaller than the likelihood of selecting a subset with questions of lower difficulty.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to provide a game using questions propounded to the various game players with player scoring or advancement determined by the answering response of the player, with each of several possible responses having varying answer values.
Another object is to provide a game to test the player's ability to interpret various information dealing with a variety of subject areas.
A further object is to provide a recreational game of skill and acumen.
Still a further object is to provide a recreational game which will educate its game players.
Another object is to provide a game where a variety of answers may be given by a game player to a question propounded, and the relative value of the particular answer given determines the scoring or player advancement in the game.
Another object is to provide a game where the questions which may be asked of a game player vary in degrees of difficulty, and where the benefit or detriment to be gained or lost by the responses varies in proportion with the difficulty of the question.
Still a further object of this invention is to provide a game where questions to be asked of a player have varying degrees of difficulty, and where the selection of the question to be propounded is determined by chance, where the probability of selecting a question of lower difficulty exceeds the probability of selecting a question of higher difficulty.
Another object of this invention is to provide a game where the game players are required to interpret the meaning of a dream.
A further object of this invention is to provide a game where a player's interpretation of a dream is measured against an interpretation of that same dream in the same context by a prevailing school of thought.
Briefly, these and other objects are achieved by providing a game for two or more players where each player in turn is asked a selected question in a given area of subject matter, the responses to which have relative values as determined by accepted theories of the prevailing schools of thought
