Conversational Shrapnel
This business card social game is about inflicting creative projects on people you’re conversing with. It sprang from an idea I’d had long ago about encouraging other game designers to take a snippet of conversation, use it as a title, and get them to design a game to fit that title. This is basically still that game, evolved. There is now a value-presenting win condition and a fun loss mechanism. On the back of the card, we offer space to write the idea as well as a pick-list of types of creative projects.
