OverviewCardBored Box is a digital version of a card game I created of the same name. It's a competitive creative storytelling card game. A random scenario is created that two people compete to solve by telling the most creative story using their Item cards.
The name is a combination of expressions and ideas: cardboard boxes are staple imagination tools; "think outside of the box"; this Card game is a great way to kill Boredom; turning "cardboard" to "cardbored" is a totally genius idea. |
ReflectionCardBored Box was the result of one of my first assignments in college. The game is an expression of something I enjoy: making non-sense stories.
Since its creation, many similar games have come out. But I still remember one person's comment: "Dude, I would totally play this over Cards Against Humanity. You actually have to think and be creative." It reassures me that CardBored still has a place in this world. |
