+
+* overview
+
+Superject is a card game grounded in the speculative philosophy of Alfred North Whitehead. It's a tool for questioning, prototyping, discussing, and feeling the world anew.
+
+(see also https://subetha.fo.am/p/superject)
+
+* card types
+
+A game requires one or more players and one or more decks of Superject cards. A deck is composed of three types of cards.
+
+*Occasions* which describe  (nouns\ldots)
+
+*Qualia*  which describe (adjectives, adverbs\ldots)
+
+*Lures* which are (verbs\ldots)

+[[file:img/card-types.png]]
+
+*Occasions* and *Qualia* are usually played in pairs or combinations which can be referred to as *Propositions*
+
+* how to begin the game
+
+The game can be played in various ways so usually begins with the players deciding on the  conditions of gameplay. Before the first cycle, you should agree on the following conditions
+
+ - Is the game more dependent on *chance* or *deliberate discussion* ?
+ - How many *cycles* will the game have? This could be a fixed number of rounds, a fixed duration or remain open to see how the game develops.
+ - Decide if there are any specific relationships between the cards & things in *the wider realm* (advanced option? anything  else to decide about the 'wider realm'?)
+
+ once the scope and duration of the game has been agreed\ldots
+
+* how to  play the first cycle (chance)
+
+Divide deck in to O, Q & L piles
+
+Shuffle & place each pile face down
+
+Each player takes a card from the O & Q piles in turn and put cards face-up in the *Locus* as pairs. The O & Q cards together form a *proposition*.
+
+(organise by proximity i.e closer or further form centre)

+(Take as many L cards as required)
+
+* how to  play the first cycle (deliberation)
+
+Divide deck in to O, Q & L piles. place cards face up.
+
+Discuss which cards could be most relevant/interesting/generative/etc
+
+Each player takes an *Occasion* card in turn and places it in the *Locus* with a brief description of how they see the *Occasion* being part of the current situation.
+
+Each player then takes a *Qualia* card and pairs it with any of the *Occasion* cards that have been played in the *Locus* giving a brief description of how they see the *Occasion* being modified by the *Qualia*
