Design Play Cards - Eco Innovators

Thanks to award-winning sustainable design agency Eco Innovators, playing cards just got a whole lot more exciting. Their clever new set of 50 Design Play Cards will teach you all about eco design strategies in a quirky game format. The cards incorporate a range of design problems, solutions and inspirations, and they’re being used by design educators all over the world – an ideal way to encourage design students to think creatively about addressing social and environmental issues. But who’s to say we can’t all have a go? The cards can be used for group play and to create and solve design challenges, and you can buy them as a box set or grab yourself a free print-and-play set online. Who said you couldn’t solve the world’s problems and have fun at the same time?
