75 Tools for Creative Thinking: A Fun Card Deck for Creative Inspiration Cards – July 1, 2013

One of the BEST resources for games and processes for collaborative problem solving and ideation. If you like the book Gamestorming, you will love this fast, easy, clear format for similar games (many of the same as in the Gamestorming book, just simplified). If you are new to these concepts and processes, I would start with the book Gamestorming, then get this card deck. The processes in 75 tools for Creative Thinking are simplified, bare bones descriptions, so the user must already understand the nuances of running workshops or collaborative brainstorms in order to know how to get the most out of the processes in this card deck.

I really like these cards, I have found them to be a bit intimidating as they seem to each card has depth and requires careful thought for implementation. I need group think for that part. I have wanted to introduce ideas at staff meetings, but we have not had extra time to explore these cards yet. I will have to get back to you on that! otherwise, they probably merit a five star rating.

Easy-to-use. Wonderful for team-building training

The packaging makes it look novel and useful. As a career facilitator, I was expecting something more interesting with better ideas. A few of the ideas don't even make sense - The Consequence Triangle was impossible to figure out.

Not as practical as I had expected

Está fisicamente bien elaborado. Es un juego muy básico y se bada en cosas muy simples y no provee herramientas q sean verdadetamente utiles

I'd score this product as 4.5 but it's not possible.Basically it's a set of 75 cards and a booklet with instructions. Cards span various modifications of brainstorming, mapping and creative thinking techniques.Product is well made, cards are big enough and printed on a thick paper, there's 75 of them divided in 5 different categories - set the context, gather information, organize information, generate ideas, evaluate ideas (12, 16, 10, 23, 14 respectively).Some gripes that I have:- font used on cards is small, it's hard to read for me- wording used in descriptions can be at times wonky - for example based on what I read I do not understand how to use Consequence Triangles, Three Loops and Special MomentsOverall it's a decent set of basic & advanced techniques that a facilitator can use to run meetings, events or brainstorming sessions. Or many more.If you're already an expert at facilitation then your mileage with this product may vary imo - many of those techniques contained here you probably already know.There's an Android application that containts descriptions of those techniques - download it, check those techniques and find for yourself whether it fits your needs.As I've said 4.5/5
