About

Fellowship of Fools: The (Kink) Game (or FoF) is a game for self-reflection, self-exploration, creativity and developing and maintaining kinky relationships with other players through conversation and storytelling using Situation and Topic prompts based on the Tarot.

Content Notes/Warning

FoF is a game that asks players to explore Situations and Topics together. FoF asks players to be open and vulnerable with one another about their personal preferences,  desires, relationships and pasts. In these conversations it is possible that painful, challenging or difficult Situations and Topics may be brought up and explored. This deck focuses on kink play and desires. We ask players to be kind to one another and adhere to the Code of Conduct included with the game and please do not yuck someone else's yum.

Remember Fools: Be excellent to each other, and party on!

How We are Defining Kink for this Deck:

"As an umbrella term for an expression of sexuality, kink refers to sexual practices at the edge of eroticism and outside what might typically be considered conventional or vanilla. Just as there exists more than one form of sexuality, similarly many forms of kink exist. These can include but are not limited to power exchange, bondage, submission, domination, sadism, masochism, fetishes, role play, race play, age play, and fantasy.  Practitioners of these and other forms of kink have a nuanced understanding of the intricacies involved which are firmly grounded in a set of beliefs underpinning its foundation: consent, boundaries, and safety."

Background

The Tarot card deck has been in use since the 14th century for games and since the 17th century for divination. The art for Fellowship of Fools dates back to 1761 to its creation in France by Nicolas Conver de Marseilles and is called the Tarot de Marseilles. Today, Tarot cards are widely used for game playing, creativity, divination and personal development. Our hope is that FoF can turn that inward reflection of the Tarot outward to help players develop relationships with other players. We’ve split the Tarot deck into its two parts—-the Major Arcana for Situations and the Minor Arcana for Topics. On each card are two different prompts—-corresponding to the upright and the reversed meaning of the card. Numbers next to the prompts indicate their difficulty, possible points that can be gained or lost when playing that prompt, as well as the number of Topic Prompts that can be played for that Situation Prompt.
