Open Mind OM Cards

^z 17th July 2023 at 9:15am

The "One-Mind OM-Cards" are so last week! When an initial Version 0.1 mint-tin deck arrived it clearly had:

  • many cards with hard-to-read text (small and insufficient contrast)
  • some cards with suboptimal words (too informal or inconsistent)
  • box lid upside-down (hinge on the wrong side)

Hence, Version 0.2 is now in the works. It features a significantly larger font, hue-intensity-tweaked background images, reworded mantras, and an improved title: Open Mind, abbreviated as before OM. The new card-back design bears the reminder Be:

... the mint-tin boxtop is darker, with better-outlined font:

... and the box's bottom drops the distractingly mathematical last "0 - 1" column:

More changes, doubtless, to follow when the physical prototype set is delivered. Perhaps:

  • arrows on the card edges or corners, front or back, to connect one card to another for "play"? ( ← ↖ ↑ ↗ → ↘ ↓ ↙ )
  • explicit "suits" of Be - If - Do and clearer imagery "themes"?
  • "rules" or "instructions" or "suggestions" for use?
  • ... ?

To see all the OM Cards in alphabetical order go to the Om Museum.
