The present disclosure generally relates to interactive games and, more specifically, to a light-hearted and fun game to play with friends wherein the object of the game is to collect various undergarments depending on the style of play.
A competitive game is a game that may be played by two or more players and gives each player points according to the player's performance relative to the performance of the other player(s). The player would enjoy a ranking table which would show not only points given as a result of a single competition, but also points given based on results of past competitions in comparison with points obtained by other players. The player's satisfaction becomes greater when the points obtained by the player are ranked higher. Even if the points obtained by the player are ranked higher, the ranking table makes it easier for the player to find another adequate player as an opponent.

For example—based on the style of a game piece, it may represent an individual who is “hot to trot” or an individual who is “a smooth operator.”

The game includes a plurality of game pieces that include small, unwearable replicates of female and male undergarments. The game pieces are made of fabric in different styles, colors, and shapes. Each game piece represents a personality or characteristic of an individual. The game pieces are selected from a container.

For example—based on the style of a game piece, it may represent an individual who is “hot to trot” or an individual who is “a smooth operator.”
In some embodiments, the present invention includes one or more game types:
For example, participants select a number at the beginning of the game.
Based on numerical order, participant will select a game piece from the container. After selection of the game piece, the facilitator will read the description of the characteristic or personality of the individual who may wear this type of underwear. If the next participant feels the game piece matches their characteristic or personality, they can take the game piece from this person or select one from the container. This rotation of pulling from the container and/or taking a game piece continues until all game pieces are taken. Note: Panty Game Twist—can be implemented where the opportunity for one last swap for everyone is given at the end of the game
Winner: the individual who has the game piece that has been taken the most times can be declared the winner, or the facilitator can designate a certain game piece at the beginner of the game will be the winning game piece and whomever has it at the end is the winner.
For example, Guest of Honor lists 3 to 5 game pieces that best represent her during her life. Facilitator reads characteristic/personality description of the game pieces. Guests has to try to list accurately the 3 to 5 games pieces that match what the Guest of Honor has listed. The Guest of Honor reads her list and explains why they represent her. The Guest who has the most correct answers is declared the winner.
For example, the facilitator reads the characteristic/personality description of 1 game piece at a time. If the game piece describes the participant during a period in her life, she must take a shot of alcohol. This continues until all game pieces are shared. The person who has taken the least # of shots is declared the winner.
For example, the facilitator begins the game by reading the personality/characteristics of the individual who may wear this type of game piece. The spouse lists which type of game piece that his partner wore when he first met her, the game piece that she wears most often currently at home, the game piece that she wears most often to work and the game piece that he wants her to wear later that night. The partner also lists which type of game piece that her partner wore when she first met him, the game piece that he wears most often currently at home, the game piece that he wears most often to work and the game piece that she wants him to wear later that night. The couple team with the most correct answers that match wins.
