Submit Alternate Prompts and Ways to Play:
FoF is a sort of open source game.
We want our players to participate in its shaping, to suggest their own ideas for alternate card prompts, as well as alternate ways to play with the cards.
As we look forward to possibility of making FoF a mobile app game, we feel like this will really allow us to explore and showcase player ideas for alternative prompts and play. Cards could offer a range of prompts that players could cycle through, try out, offer feedback, and vote for their favorites. After all, the cards have many different meanings.
We want our players to help make the game better.
Call us fools if you like, then fools we will happily be.

Part of Affinity Games LLC and our game Fellowship of Fools: The Game, as well as what we are calling Affinity Games–a subgenre of games–is the idea that games can help bring people together and make our lives and our world better.
They can help players break down barriers, better relate to each other, make connections, make friends, find affinity (a common interest or goal) with other players, organize and change our lives and the world we live in.
We define Affinity Games as games that place as a core game mechanic or system two or more of these foundational tenets:
- Mutual Aid (freely given and freely taken gifts)
- Solidarity (associating together to satisfy common interests and needs)
- Autonomy
- Voluntary Association
- Self-Organization
- Direct Democracy
By designing the game to be free and “open source,” where players can add their own ways to play and suggest alternate prompts that the entire game community can then use, we are encouraging self-organization, direct democracy and mutual aid.
Players are freely giving of their time, creativity and energy by coming up with alternate prompts or ways to play, and it benefits us all when they do. Players can then have a real role and voice in shaping the games they enjoy playing, making them work better for their needs and desires.
We based the prompts featured in the game off some of the meanings for our own decks, The Druid Craft Tarot, the Wildwood Tarot, and the website Biddy Tarot. Most tarot readers will find their own individual meanings for their tarot cards based on the artwork, symbolism, and personal significance they find in the card.
We want to hear about it!
