Each card is one play. Here's how to read it.
The front: the play at a glance
- Card number
Your shorthand for the play. Cross-references throughout the deck point to these numbers. - Play name
The strategy in a few words. - Description
The high-level concept, like "create a blog highlighting successful mentoring case studies."
The back: when it fits, when it fails, how it connects
- Looks Like
Examples to help you recognize when this play fits your organization. - Watch Out For
Pitfalls and risks to anticipate. (Choose Your Why cards skip this section.) - Pairs Well With
Card numbers pointing to plays in other suits that reinforce this one. Pay attention to these cross-references as you sort.
You're not building a collection of random tactics. You're building a cohesive program, and the cards are designed to help you see the connections.
Pull any play card and flip it over. Once the anatomy is familiar, the Sort, Don't Overthink card shows you what to do with it.
