by [LynnAnneBrown]

A Work in Progress

Objective - To collect a random set of interesting photographs using playing cards as the randomizing agent.

Materials Needed- a camera, a deck of cards, small cue card same size as the deck so it can be slipped in with the cards, slips of paper, a pen, a hat (box, bowl, etc) to draw slips from.

(Task: Create sample cue card)

Players 1 to infinity
(Task: Define game for 1)Solitaire, 2) Small Groups, 3)Large Groups, 4) Team Play)

Basic Game Play
(Task: Try a solitare version of this game and see how it works out)

Choose a place to start, be it in your living room, in front of your house, in a playground, or anywhere else that suits you taste.

On the slips of paper, at least 13, write keywords, that will be used for themes in the game.

Place these slips in a hat, box, bowl etc.

Draw the slips one at a time and assign the Keywords to each of the number cards in order. Write the Keywords beside the corresponding numbers on the cue card.

Choose a card at random from the deck

The suit of the card will determine the direction that you will go in search of your prey and the number will indicate the prey you are hunting for.

Here are suggestions for the directional correspondents
Diamonds - North - Ahead
Spades - East - Right
Clubs - South - Behind
Hearts - West - Left

Start walking in the direction indicated till you find a something to photograph that corresponds to the keyword.

Once you have caught you first photo, draw another card, and repeat the process.

Keep playing until, 1) you are tired 2) You have caught a predetermined number of photos or 3) a preset time limit has been reached.
