Method of playing a game

Abstract

A game in which a plurality of players is presented with an action photograph that has a moving object missing. Each player selects a location on the image where she believes the missing object to be. After all players have made their selections, an expert in the subject of the photograph selects what he believes is the true location of the missing object and the player closest to the true location wins.

       6 . The method of  claim 1  further comprising the step of requiring said player to acquire a ticket before said distance from said corresponding player location to said true location is determined.  
   
   
       7 . The method of  claim 6  wherein said player is permitted to acquire more than one ticket.
