Before dashing off to San Francisco and Burning Man, I worked on a really clever card game with the folks at Local No. 12. They had myself and a bunch of other illustrators capture and interpret some of the most loved video games. I picked nine that I’d been familiar with over the years. Here’s a description of how it plays out –
The Metagame is a card game about videogames. It is simple to learn and fun to play. It can be played by a small group of game fans, a classroom of students, or by thousands at a conference. You play the game by combining game cards – videogame trading cards – with comparison cards that say things like “Which game tells a better story” or “Which game is more of a work of art?”
Sounds like fun right? I’m sure it’ll do really well when it hits the market. Below are riffs on Pitfall, Ico, EverQuest, and Diablo.
