Explanations
1y(Ambiv), 2y(ArtVsNat)
Picture a person who's ambivalent (Ambiv) about whether there's a Biblical God or not. On one side, our person thinks that nature is literally God's artwork. On the other side, our person thinks that nature is not artwork by an Artist, even though its beauty, grandeur, and intricacy have always inspired artists.
The Variant Rules
Deck is held by a dealer.
To Start
Dealer cuts the deck randomly and lays two cards down. The first card down is the first in a conversation chain.
All players together try to find an interesting relation between the first card and the second.
- If relation is found that would be fun or fascinating to talk about:
a. Mark the carwith the #1 cube and a color and the second card #2 with the same color. b. Add descriptive notation of the move to the Short Transcript
If relation is not found, dealer puts the second card back in the deck at the bottom.
TURNS:
Dealer cuts the deck randomly and lays down the top card, which is the new second.
All players together try to find a markable relation, preferably but not necessarily to continue the color chain.
If a relation is not found, dealer puts the second card back in the deck at the bottom.
Next turn.
