Six Athletes are competing against each other. Their goal - The Olympiks! There are three levels of competition in which the athletes must participate: Amateur Level, Novice Level and then - The Olymp.. yikes!
OK, now we have to change . . . because:
THIS GAME was shut down by court order in 1988 in a case of Olympics vs Rhema. Seems we were too amateur and presumed that phonetics were not important in trademarks. It may well become a collectors item. It was a first run, and If I say so myself, needed a lot of work. Some great medals though.
24 YEARS LATER, we have come to full circle.
NOW THAT SPORTS GAME, is our new name, and the game is a far superior game.
The winner is the ATHLETE WITH THE highest number of points: as determined by the score sheet:
Money: 1 point for each 10,000 IMU to maximum of 5 points. Medals: Gold=3 points, Silver=2 points, Bronze=1 point. Athletic Award: maximum 1 point. Product Endorsment Cards: 2 points per card, maximum 6 points. Coach: 1 point Sponsor: 1 point Sports Event Cards: 1 point each to maximum 10 points
The Goals of the game are:
Advancing Levels
Regional to National:
Win 2 Sports Event cards, Get a Coach and have at least 1000 IMU
National to Global:
Win 5 Sports Event cards, Get a Coach, a Sponsor and have at least 4000 IMU
To Win
Have 7 points in medals, a Coach, a Sponsor and 2 Product Endorsement Cards and 50,000 IMU
Since then, the game has been revised numerous times. It is now available as: THAT SPORTS GAME®
