Alright... here's the skinny on the handmade deck / 1 year game: The project is still in development and gathering participants. These are the basics: -I send out one card from a deck to each of 51 participants. (With the 52nd being myself.) -Each participant affects their card -- paint/write on, collage, whatever -- either leaving the number and suit visible, or by writing "jack of clubs" or what have you very small at the bottom, or otherwise indicating what card it is. -Each participant returns their card to me, and I assemble the completed deck. -I will play with the deck and send it on to another participant, along with a full list of participants & their addresses. Each person will play with the deck, then send it on to the next person. The idea is to have the deck "in play" for one week per participant, making 52 weeks -- one year of play with the collaboratively created deck.
***VARIABLES / THINGS I'VE NOT YET DECIDED ON:*** -Will the week consist of 2 to 5 days mailing time, with the remaining days for play? ... Or will the mailing time not count, giving each person a week of possession & play that counts toward the year? -Will one side or both sides be affected? Better playability with only the face decorated, but not as open or interesting. More possibilities with full-card-manipulation, but will make deck memorizable. --Possible solution to double-sided decoration playability problem: If both sides affected, no one can look at deck before game is played. This will give one "honest" game at least. Gimme addresses! ____________________________________________________________ Free 20MB Web Site Hosting and Personalized E-mail Service!
