The Crumbs and Their 52 Helpers

There are tons of games you'll be introduced to at conventions that you could just as easily play with regular playing cards. In this drop-in activity, you'll learn some of them. Expect familiar favorites, but with a slightly different look.

In addition to the games you may already know, we'll be teaching newly designed card games that use only a standard deck of cards, as well as a few games we think most people have missed. There's everything from team games to free-for-all, cooperative games and solitaires. Come alone or bring a bunch of friends.
If you're really nice, you can even play games that use different decks of cards.

Hopefully, you'll leave us with one or two new favorites to play whenever there's a deck nearby. And most of the time, it does.

The event is part of Materialist Game Lab's offering at GothCon. We want to look at gaming culture with new eyes and try to find ways to make it more fair, welcoming and accessible. All in the hope that together we build a vibrant gaming culture rather than a commercial hobby.

Thom Király is a game designer and game educator based in Malmö. He will act as a cicerone on the journey through misers' attempts to use their 52 friends to avoid stuffing the game shelf full of games that actually work just as well with standard cards.
