<\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>I love adventure games of the 1990s (point and click anyone?) and I’m constantly finding new games that are also based on creativity.<\/p>\n<p>So it was a lovely surprise when Deborah of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.tartarugafeliz.com\/\">Tartaruga Feliz<\/a> sent me an email about her latest game called <a href=\"http:\/\/cardstories.org\/\">Card Stories<\/a> (which was made by <a href=\"http:\/\/farsides.com\/\">Farsides<\/a>), I was curious to see how it played out! The premise was simple:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Pick out a card, and then you write a story for your card (think of it as illustration commission, but in reverse.)<\/li>\n<li>Other players will have to pick a card as well to add to the mix, based on the story told by you (this is to confuse other players while they figure out which one is the real card later!).<\/li>\n<li>After the rest of the players have picked out their card, it generates the cards that they have chosen (a max of 6 players = 6 cards).<\/li>\n<li>Voting begins and the person who picks out the original card is the winner!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>#<br \/>\n<img src=\"http:\/\/www.pikaland.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/11\/31372.gif\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p>To celebrate the soft launch of <a href=\"http:\/\/cardstories.org\/\">Card Stories<\/a>, Deborah is giving away physical copies of the cards to 2 selected participants!<\/p>\n<p><img src=\"http:\/\/www.pikaland.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/11\/31312.gif\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p>All you need to do is to craft up a story (think of it as an illustration brief!) so that Deborah can illustrate it into a card. The best story will win a pack of 36 cards + the one you helped create!<\/p>\n<p>This contest ends on <strong>29th November 2011<\/strong>, so write down your idea for a card in the comments below! <em>Hint: Short stories are best!<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Head over to <a href=\"http:\/\/cardstories.org\/\">Card Stories<\/a> to play a round and test it out for yourself!<\/p>\n<p><strong>The contest has ended and the winners have been picked \u2013\u00a0Kirsty and Zack! \ud83d\ude42 Thanks everyone for joining in the contest!<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> … <a title=\"Sponsor contest: Card Stories\" class=\"read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pikaland.com\/staging\/2011\/11\/22\/sponsor-contest-card-stories\/\" aria-label=\"More on Sponsor contest: Card Stories\">Read More<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":36886,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_generate-full-width-content":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pikaland.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2044"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pikaland.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pikaland.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pikaland.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pikaland.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2044"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.pikaland.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2044\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":36157,"href":"https:\/\/www.pikaland.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2044\/revisions\/36157"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pikaland.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/36886"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pikaland.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2044"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pikaland.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2044"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pikaland.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2044"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
