         18 . The method of  claim 15 , wherein the first question is read by a member of a first team to a member of a second team, wherein the first image is viewed by a member of the second team, and wherein comparing the first response to the first question is performed by a member of the first team. 
     
     
         19 . The method of  claim 18 , further comprising:
 providing a second card;   reading a second question on the second card;   providing a second image associated with the second card, wherein the second image is considered for deducing a correct answer to the second question;   providing a second response to the second question; and   comparing the second response to the second question to a second answer to the second question; and   providing a point value if the second response substantially corresponds to the second answer to the second question.   
     
     
         20 . (canceled) 
     
     
         21 . The method of  claim 19 , wherein each team reads and answers further questions to receive further point values that are added to a subtotal point value until the total point value at least equals a predetermined total point value for one of the teams. 
     
     
         22 . The method of  claim 15 , wherein at least twenty questions are provided, wherein the twenty questions comprise at least four different categories of questions. 
     
     
         23 . The method of  claim 22 , further comprising the process of selecting one of the four categories of questions.

         26 . The method of  claim 15 , wherein a time limit is set between a) the reading of the first question and providing the first image, and b) providing the first response to the first question. 
     
     
         27 . The method of  claim 26 , wherein if the first response is not provided within the time limit, no point value is assigned to a team that is to provide the first response, for the first question. 
     
     
         28 . (canceled) 
     
     
         29 . The method of  claim 15 , wherein at least 20 cards are provided.
