# Fiction Friction
## story telling tool
Fiction Friction cards are prepared by two wonderers who spent a fair
amount of time thinking about healing,witchcraft and (contemporary)
witch-hunting, rituals, Tarot culture. This approach can be seen as a
way to create a ritual or a (personal) journey into a collective
representation. The cards in a way carry our identities, individual
pasts, collective memory moments, frictions and fictions. Our intention
was to reclaim the tarrot card ritual and reconsider the relation
between the given interpretation and the figure of the future teller by
reversing it- since he group of the players will be able to collectively
reimagine their own meaning of the cards. We are keen to see how
similiar or completely different experiences can be shared and learned
through this round of excercise. This small game/tool is a possibility
to write together, meet, connect, talk about unpeakable things, share,
interprete or even conflict. The card is a starting point, an interface
for an opening, for a promising healing, for a collective moment.
Fiction Friction is a tool for (hyper)textual conversations on (via)
abstract/symbolic/surrealistic collage cards. We based our collaging on
political events that we have experienced or have been part of our
memories, mythological figures from our cultures, collective memory
moments, literature that has inspired us, musical references,
individuals etc. The main components of the game are a deck of
illustrated cards, a dice with different methods of interpretation, an
empty deck to host the new potential stories created by the players.
How to play:
The fiction friction game/tool consists of a deck of collage illustrated
cards that the players can use in three possible ways.
1\. -One player picks a card from the illustrated card deck and place it
in the middle. The card is the starting point of a collective
(hypertextual) story.
-Everyone takes an empty card.
-In turns, players throw the dice to indicate the possible methods to
write/draw/illustrate about or via the revealed card.
-In the end of the round a small story will be created out of the
interpretations of each player.
2\. -Each player picks an illustrated card and an empty card from the
deck without revealing the card to others.
-The first player starts with a sentence about their card and leaves the
illustrated card upside down in the middle.
-Other players continue with their sentences\' according to the card in
their hands.
-The illustrated cards are shuffled and then revealed. Everybody then
makes a guess and match the card with the right sentence.
-The dice can be used to choose a method if preferred.
3\. -One player picks a card and place it in the middle.
-The player who picked the card throws the dice and interprets the card
accordingly.
-The other players throw the dice in turns and continue the narrative.
