A card game where players match philosophy quotes with funny images

Sciences and Humanities

For our final project in Sciences and Humanities, my teammates and I created a card game called "What Do You Mean?" We took inspiration from the popular "What Do You Meme?" game but made it educational. Players match text cards with funny images to create the best combinations about philosophy and science topics we learned in class.
The game is pretty simple. One player judges each round and picks the funniest or most clever match between a philosophical concept and a meme-style image. We made our images look like tarot cards because tarot has connections to philosophy and the search for meaning. Instead of regular internet memes, we created original images that would work better for learning.
Making this game took way longer than we thought it would. We used ChatGPT/Photoshop AI to generate images, then I spent hours in Photoshop and Procreate making them look consistent and polished. I also designed all the text cards and wrote the rulebook. The most interesting part was going back through all our course material to pick the best quotes and concepts that would work in a game format. But this actually helped us learn the material even better.
What I loved most about this project was seeing how games can make difficult topics more fun and social. When you're trying to match a quote from Nietzsche with the right image, you really have to think about what the idea means. The game gets people talking and debating about big questions in ways that feel natural and engaging. It proved to me that learning doesn't have to be boring when you can turn it into something interactive and creative.
