Hit Deal All Three to draw a prompt — or deal cards one at a time.
Read your three cards together: "In a/an [future] future, there is [object] related to [theme]." That's your prompt.
Describe, sketch, or write about the artifact your prompt conjures. What does it look like? Who uses it? What does it mean that it exists?
Playing with others? Everyone writes in secret, then share and vote on the most vivid, surprising, or moving artifact.
