Perhaps we can combine them with these somehow:

I acquired stacks of sheets of emoji stickers a while back after LayersConf, when Oisin Prendiville ran an experimental session called the Emoji Chamber. He had walked people through a guided meditation of sorts, followed by some silent introspective time using a paper with four quadrants + an inner circle… with Arvo Pärt playing in the background.

I had originally planned to use these as a little gateway to talk about symbols, representation and culture with high schoolers. But I could probably get more.

I recently made some emoji cards with the laser cutter. Actually, just about all the emoji cards: 874. Having hand cut cards before, the laser cutter was deeply appreciated. However don’t ask me to make another set just yet, it’s still a lot of labor!

(For the time being, all of the PDFs used are here.)


Emoji are confounding and delightful symbols to play with, as you probably already know from personal experience. Liat Berdugo and I have designed and play tested some games together, and if people are interested we could play some of them at CDG after some more refinement. Below, Emily and Marko are playing an “Am I…?” game, and Emily has used some cards to articulate a story. Can you guess the title?
