Start here.

You've got the cards. This page is here to help you explore different ways to use them and get more from your SHIFT deck.

WAYS TO PLAY

Use SHIFT your way.

There are no sacred rules here. Use these as a starting point, then make the deck your own.

1

Pick My Shift

2 players
• Tell the other person how you’re feeling. • They choose one card they think you need. • You do it. Then switch. • Choose wisely. Or don’t.
2

Shift Roulette

1+ players
• Shuffle the deck. Take turns drawing 1 card without looking. • You draw it, you do it! • In a group, continue clockwise until everyone has drawn and completed 1 card. One round and you’re done.
3

Shift with Friends

3–6 players
• Pick a dealer. The dealer shuffles the deck and deals 3 cards to each player. The player to the dealer’s left goes first. They say how they feel. • The other players place 1 card face up that they think could help. • The player chooses 1 card. They have to do it! Whoever played that card keeps it face up in front of them. It counts as 1 point. • Discard the other played cards. Everyone who played a card draws a new one. Play continues clockwise. • When the card pile runs out, shuffle the discard pile and keep playing. First player to 3 points wins. 🏆
GO A LITTLE DEEPER

One card might be enough.

After finishing a practice, take a moment to notice what's changed. You might be done.

Or you might notice that something else would be useful next. If you continue, choose another card based on how you feel now, rather than how you felt when you started.

FIRST RELEASE

You're holding one of the early SHIFT decks.

This first release helped take SHIFT from an idea into something people could actually use in everyday life.

How people use these decks will help shape what SHIFT becomes next.

WHAT'S NEXT

The SHIFT Companion.

I'm currently testing a digital Companion designed to build on the physical deck and give you more ways to explore the practices.
