as they frolic in flowering lustful…..umm, loving fields.

Who has invented a fun game
for those eighty four million looking for love.
Now that Spring Fever is approaching full blast,
You’ll not want to be the last,
to have this cheeky, fun guest on your show.

Dr. Ruth covered the sex, Dear Abby the thoughts,
and our gal Carrie the lifestyle that we ought not…but still do!
Bring in the sass of the Queens, Sweet Potato, I mean.
A combined all-in-one is this gal for you!
Amanda Brown is spreading her recipe for love around
Because, after all, it’s just no fun to have a big frown.

It Started - The Day the Homerun was HIT!
Everyone asks about Playing the Field and how it came about.The first thing I tell them is that this big idea is the story of my life. My 1,000 watt smile came about after my “ah-ha” moment when everything came together and the design and the creation began flowing from me to you.

Changing my Life and Converting it into a Game
January 2005. I sat down to work on my New Year’s resolutions. I looked back through my journals of past years and realized my big dream was “wanting to find my special someone”. My little voice was whispering constantly that I wanted desperately to find my soul mate. When I shared this with the girls, they too opened up and we began sharing our deep desires, hopes and dreams. We uncovered common things that we all wanted in all areas of life…it was those typical conversations that crop up during deep thinking and wine drinking times.

On a whim, one of my friends convinced me to sign up on an online dating service. She had been on it for months without success but still wanted me to try. I took her challenge but added the twist that I wanted to see what the impact of presenting our smiling faces to the world would do. Two days later our profiles hit the market…3,000 hits and a week later, I realized that I had just taken on another part time job! I suddenly was on a new journey but interestingly enough, it wasn’t about me, it was learning about the male psyche! I quickly discovered the problem why I hadn’t found my soul mate…there was a gap between what we wanted and what they wanted and I went on a mission to find the common denominator.

One of my friends was so intrigued with what I was doing, she arranged for me to be interviewed as a contestant on the local radio station’s version of speed dating. I was nervous so I prepared. I did practice runs, and with a bottle of wine, prepared myself the best I could. I wrote out questions and all my responses and I felt I was ready!

Now understand, I was one of many women on the show. What blew me away was all the other women just showed up, and when they were quizzed, they were not prepared. Because I was prepared, the guys noticed me and not them. Their reactions were completely different and I felt very connected.

Then it hit me…I realized that I had hit upon a golden idea!
The guys are just as interested in finding a great gal as the girls are looking for a great guy! All it took was asking them about their goals, beliefs and likes and dislikes in the other person.

Wow, my brain said “Make it a game and everyone will play”. I decided I was going to change the world of relationships with a simple game.

I questioned all of my friends to find out the top five things they would want to know about a first date. Their answers ranged from, “Would you have sex on a first date?” to “What is your five-year plan?” and a whole lot in between. I put on my thinking cap and came up with 500 questions that would work—and not just the typical yes or no answers, but questions that allow for storytelling and explanation that would enable you to really dig in and see what the person was really like. Next convert it to a business and putting the game together and taking it to market!

I Formed a Company and Surrounded Myself with the Best!
Luckily, I am surrounded by remarkable and smart friends who all have amazing talents. So I decided to leverage all of our natural abilities into one company. I tackled the whole process of graphics, prototypes, legalities, how to license a new product, how to distribute it ….then discovered that I could do it all on my own. A year and a half later, I was ready, sold my house to fund the company, and off we went! The game was a hit and sales exploded! A lot of friends couldn’t see my dream, but it was clear as glass to me. I am now on a mission to change the world of relationships with my simple game!

The game contains two hundred and eight of the sauciest, most tantalizing, and hilariously funny questions imaginable so really…the possibilities are endless. There certainly aren’t any rules (way too many in the rest of life!) but there are several ideas we’ve tried that we love to share

1. Crack open the box and start with the First Base deck. Inevitably men will reach for Homerun but trust me…start with First. Set the deck down between the two of you and take turns asking the questions. You can opt to only have the non-card holder answer or you can both chime in with answers.

2. In a group- set a deck down in the middle and take turns picking up cards around the circle. Our rule is usually that the card holder doesn’t have to answer but everyone else in the circle does. Or to speed things up a bit, the card chooser selects one person of their choice to answer.

3. Out with a crowd - take out the deck and ask the top card question of one person then put that card at the bottom of the stack. After the answer is given pass that person the deck of cards. They then pick one person from the group to ask the question on the next card. Continue zig-zagging the questions around your group of friends. Involve everyone around you. If a microphone is available, put it to use! The more you can get involved (especially in a public place) the more fun you will have listening to the answers!

The idea of Playing the Field to Home Base in one sitting is too daunting. Even I can’t talk that long! Break it up into baby steps, grab a single deck and make a night of it. The decks are totally portable and perfect to stash along for an evening at your favorite restaurant. It’s that simple! No trinkets or little pieces to lose, no score sheet to tally, just the new juicy knowledge you take with you about your partner!

Playing the Field – The Card Game
Tired of spending months trying to figure out if the person you are dating is really the one for you!?! Playing the Field is a series of card games including 1st Base, 2nd Base, 3rd Base, and Home Run, with questions exploring ideas you want to know about someone but may not feel comfortable asking at the onset of dating. The questions become more intimate and descriptive with each level of the game. For adults 18 to 98.

Playing the Field 2nd Base advance your understanding of each other as the questions get more intense. 2nd Base will help you determine if that person sitting next to you is worthy of your continued attention or if they have a freaky train of thought.

With 3rd Base you have obviously built a certain level of comfort, but it is time to dig a little deeper. Knowledge that sometimes takes years to acquire (if ever!) will rise to the surface. The questions become more intimate and descriptive as you acquire a greater understanding of each other through what I consider to be some of the tougher questions.
