BA Major Design Semester
2019/20 WS Deck is a game designed for dementia sufferers. Dementia, is a desease that separates its
sufferers from the rest of the world, to the point that they cannot do their favourite activities
anymore, engage in conversations or even remember their families. The objective of this
game is that of giving people with a neurodegenerative desease the opportunity of
overcoming for a moment the bridge (or deck) that separates them from the rest of the
world. This, with a deck of wooden cards that stimulate their memory and encourage
conversations by letting them see and feel objects that characterized their childhood.
