We consider the TU version of Gale and Shapley's roommate game. We find sev
eral results that: are analogous to known results for the NTU game, such as
a characterization of stable outcomes by forbidden miners, a characterizat
ion of the extreme points of the core, and a median property of stable outc
omes. The TU roommate game is a special case of the TU partitioning game of
Kaneko and Wooders. Bondareva and Shapley's balancedness condition for the
core of such games is the starting point for our forbidden miners approach
.
