Numbered garment national/international matching game

Abstract

A simple product labeling system is used to facilitate playing a matching game over a global computer network, or the like. A plurality of substantially identical products are provided, at least two of the products, but less than all of the products, having unique matching indicia. In a preferred embodiment the at least two products having unique matching indicia consist of only two products, and there is provided a plurality of the substantially identical products in sets of two products having unique matching indicia, with the unique matching indicia differing from set to set. Most desirably, the two products having unique matching indicia comprise garments (such as T-shirts). Desirably, one of the two garments having unique matching indicia has additional female-indicating indicia while the other of the two garments has additional male-indicating indicia. Also, the two garments with unique matching indicia have common theme indicia associated with them that relates to a personality trait, personal interest, or job of potential selectors of the products. The products are used to play a matching game in which purchasers in remote geographic locations of the products with common unique indicia use web site and password indicia associated with the products to locate each other over a global computer network.
