Abstract
A gaming system allows a game manager to manage and run a multiplayer game and adjudicate all player characters with the ability to control the game and game play for all players from a centralized command facility in real-time. Interactive cards can be used that relate to investigated objects. The cards include information relating to the usage of the discovered objects as well as provide a method whereby the cards can interact based on predetermined orientation(s). Furthermore, an object discovery and investigation methodology is outlined that provides characters with a roadmap for determining the consequences of interaction with an object.

An interaction card comprising:
- a first side including information illustrating what the interaction card represents;
- a second side including supplemental information illustrating what the interaction card represents;
- an interaction data portion including one or more pieces of interaction data;
- and
- one or more windows, each window, when the interaction card is properly aligned with another interaction card, capable of revealing interaction data on the other interaction card.
A cross-interaction card comprising:
- a first side including information illustrating what the interaction card represents;
- a second side including supplemental information illustrating what the interaction card represents;
- and
- an interaction data portion including one or more pieces of interaction data, the interaction data, when the cross-interaction card is properly aligned with an interaction card, used to mathematically modify interaction data on the interaction card.
An interaction card set comprising:
- a plurality of interaction cards each comprising:
- a first side including information illustrating what the interaction card represents;
- a second side including supplemental information illustrating what the interaction card represents;
- an interaction data portion including one or more pieces of interaction data;
- and
- one or more windows, each window, when the interaction card is properly aligned with another interaction card, capable of revealing interaction data on the other interaction card;
- and
- a plurality of cross-interaction cards each comprising:
- a first side including information illustrating what the interaction card represents;
- a second side including supplemental information illustrating what the interaction card represents;
- and
- a cross-interaction data portion including one or more pieces of cross-interaction data, the cross-interaction data, when the cross-interaction card is properly aligned with one of the interaction cards, used to mathematically modify interaction data on the interaction card.
