Cards have traditionally been used to look into the future, and Cartomancy - using decks like the tarot or Lenormand - or even playing cards was incredibly popular in the 19th century. For a more modern take on this, without the supernatural connotations, we can look to games like Peek - created by our guest, Evan Raskob. The future does not yet exist, so the stories we tell ourselves about it are very important - because they can inform what actually happens. “Where attention goes, energy flows”, as they say. Narrative imagination is a powerful tool for people to innovate and speculate on what might be possible. Listen in as Evan explains this and tells us what he has learned from designing games.
