StarterDeck

About the Original Starter Deck

This initial starter deck will be available to anyone who wants to use it in new economy conversations and workshops. Anyone is welcome to create their own deck for discussion or other activities using whatever cards they like or wish to develop (so long as the creative commons licence is honored) but this starter deck is a quick point of access.

The starter deck is 80% complete. It does not need to be perfect -- in fact the lack of "completion" can be (and has been) used as a clear invitation for participant co-creation). There will likely be future iterations and other packaged new economy decks.

If you would like a pdf of the current starter deck in order to print out cards for a workshop please send a note to neweconomycarddeck *at* gmail *dot* com. 

3/14/13 NOTE: The pdf does NOT have images at this time. We have removed images until we find ones with licensing compatable with the card deck's Creative Commons Attribute-ShareAlike. For the time being, please use your own images for the cards. Even better, please help by adding licensed and referenced images (such as from the websites here) to cards on neweconomycarddeck.wiki.com so that we can add them to the deck. We hope to have an improved pdf with images and a more sophisticated template in a few months.
