I use them regularly, not so much to actually take and use the specific activity that is on the card, but almost as a brainstorm exercise to begin thinking about approaching codesign or collaboration aspects of a project.
I often find myself asking or working out what the best methods will be for sharing and learning and codesigning with users (in a particular instance). It is that bit where you are working out the questions you want to ask of the users and the situation, and you also sort of at the same time work out the methods you want to use (to ask that question). I use the cards like brainstorm material for that conversation, and for teaching others different approaches to working with users/stakeholders. e.g three of us will sit down to plan out some user workshops or evaluation sessions and I get everyone to grab some of the cards and pull out the ones that they think have something valuable or interesting to offer the questions we are trying to ask. Often we end up evolving specific sessions and methods shaped to those users and that project, but I have found the cards are an excellent brainstorm start point for designing user research and codesign sessions.
