TWO DECKS. INFINITE POSSIBILITIES.
HOW TO PLAY
Social Alchemix combines two distinctive decks of beautifully illustrated cards with a Book of Questions to create a different conversation every time you play.
1. DRAW YOUR CARDS
Choose one card from each deck. Each card represents a different element of the human experience.
2. DISCOVER YOUR QUESTION
The combination of symbols reveals a question from the Book of Questions.
No two combinations lead to the same conversation.
3. LET THE CONVERSATION UNFOLD
Share stories, challenge perspectives, laugh, reflect, and discover something new about the people around you.
4. SEE WHERE IT TAKES YOU
There is no script and no predetermined ending. Follow the conversation wherever it wants to go.
THE CARDS
THE SMALL DECK
The small deck of cards of Social Alchemix features alchemical symbols split into three suits: Heavenly Principles, Ancient Metals, and Poison. The proto-science of alchemy believed that different combinations of these elements (save poison) were the building blocks for all of life.
These elements have astrological connections which rule over different aspects of the human experience
THE BIG DECK
The large deck of cards of Social Alchemix contains symbols of easily recognizable objects that relate to our human experience, objects to which we ascribe our subjective meaning, and into which we can compartmentalize our lives.
The Object Deck is split up into four suits: Perception, Nature, Accomplishment, and Tools
