Inspiration: Brian Eno’s Oblique Strategies cards.
“Each card contains a suggestion, aphorism or remark which can be used to break a deadlock or dilemma situation…They can be used as a pack, or by drawing a single card from the shuffled pack when a dilemma occurs in a working situation.” (Source: Wikipedia)
