Abstract
This Traits card game allows each player to select cards identifying personality traits that he or she finds desirable or favorable. The players then use a bidding structure to bid on each chosen trait's relative importance to each player. The players next utilize their memorization skills to identify who won the bid for each trait, and the value of the highest bid. The player who can identify by memory the most bids wins the game. Thus, the game allows players to get to know each other by finding out what traits each player finds desirable, but also utilizes competitive bidding and the memorization and recall skills of each player.
