A Chinese oracle created a book of wisdom, the I Ching. The Chinese threw six yarrow sticks, and the pattern these formed, a hexagram, could give the answer to a deep and meaningful question.

The Love Oracle does all this for you - on the theme of love. Once the program has thrown your hexagrams, you can ask such things as "Are we compatible?", "Do we have a future?", "What do I want most from life?"

The hexagram is supposed to be a reflection of your inner feelings and the program is serious. You might say that if the I Ching really exists, the pattern will be the same even if you throw several times. Ah, but the instructions say this is "showing disrespect and trying to catch the I Ching out".

The answers given are rather vague. I tried it on several people, myself included, but the answers were rarely appropriate even though we tried to show a "positive attitude".

Although a book is included, and the game is competently programmed, it's only worth buying if you believe in I Ching or hold many parties. Unfortunately, I do neither.

P.S.
