Card Game

Technologies just don’t rain on you; they’re constructed collectively.

  • 3 card decks:
    • questions
    • tactics
    • concepts

Anatomy of a turn

Each turn covers 2 or more cards.

  1. Player one draws a Question, reads it aloud, and shares what this question evokes.
  2. Player two draws a Tactic, reads it aloud, and replies to the question following this constraint.
  3. Player three draws a Concept card to reframe the conversation towards one of the topics.

Additional Tactic cards can be drawn to refine the understanding.
