The cards

SIT-01 Living Room Living Room is playing in the familiar home at the kitchen table: on the couch, in the children's room. A protected space with its own rules and equipment.

SIT-02 On the Go On the Go is playing on the underground, in a waiting room, at the airport – short time windows, limited space, often only a smartphone as a tool.

SIT-03 Classroom Classroom (educational context) is playing in school lessons, a university seminar or professional training – a space with a curriculum, an authority figure and a fixed time structure.

SIT-04 Public Space Public Space is playing in a park, market square, library or museum – visible to passers-by, influenced by noise, weather and social norms.

SIT-05 Game Night Game Night is the planned appointment with sufficient time and a group that comes together specifically to play.

SIT-06 Quick Break Quick Break is playing between two meetings, during the lunch or school break – little time, a quick start, a fast end with a hard cut-off.

SIT-07 Online / Remote Online / Remote is playing over distance, everyone on their own device, connected through the internet. Playing together without a shared physical space.

SIT-08 Stage & Arena Stage & Arena (in front of an audience) is playing at a tournament, e-sports event, game fair or theatre performance: ludic exerience becomes a performance, spectators are part of the situation.

SIT-09 Workshop Workshop is playing as structured group work: team-building, design sprint, training, creative workshop. Ludic experience as a method, not an end in itself.

SIT-10 Bedside Bedside is the ludic experience in intimate transitional moments: before falling asleep, on waking, during recovery. Little energy, much closeness, a different sense of time.
