Abstract

The Tempt Destiny interactive sports game method pertains to a method of playing an interactive sports game while observing or listening to a live or recorded broadcast sporting event. This invention embodies playing cards that describe the occurrences of the method of play and rules of the sporting event and commercial advertisements that are typically broadcast during the event. When a participant's card matches the play or occurrence during the broadcast sporting event, the participant claims the card and its point value. During a commercial break, participants can exchange cards from the card sets to alter their hand. The participant with the most points totaled from the cards claimed, wins the hand. The game method can be applied to football, baseball, car racing, etc. Since participants are not predicting the plays of the sporting event, no extensive knowledge of the sport is required to play.
