Would not want to profit from anybody else’s idea without giving more than credit though!

At THATCamp I gave out 7 sets of handmade cards. Haven’t gotten feedback yet. Look below and you’ll see that the blog is CC BY, and that’s my approach on the game, too. Make your own deck, or several, play with friends, mess around, make it commercially. As long as I’m credited, I’m happy.

Am having a hard time visualizing the game — is it going to be published?

My generation of scholars is finding employment to be tentative at best.

For those who are making cards and see the end of blank cards, I ran out of cards (long story short: I thought I had put another pack of blank index cards in my luggage). I’ll go out and get more tonight for blanks. And you can use blank pieces of paper of the approximately-right size.

1) This is the other gradgrind game. I am creating the starter sets this morning (Saturday). Please see me to grab one!

2) Additional challenge: Always have in your hand at least one more card in the Passion/Life/Sanity categories than Status/Achievement categories. (A graduating hand has, at minimum, 7 Status and Achievement cards and 8 Passion, Life, and Sanity cards, if you include the starter set.)
