Imaginary Games

​

Imaginary Games is a participatory board game that uses 3D-printed object-symbols to spark storytelling, interpretation, and collaborative meaning-making. The project grows out of a long-term exploration of how narratives and abstract ideas can be translated into physical form, using imagery developed for Entities: A Field of Imaginary Games, and Oresteia. 

​

The board game contains cards, a set of thirty-four
D-printed pieces, and an instruction sheet.
The players must respond to  prompt cards using the objects-symbols to tell a story to the rest of the group.
