Quite Contrary

2022

Quite Contrary is an outdoors cardgame for 1-4 players. Best played outside in a local park, garden, plaza, street or laneway, the game is about exploring and noticing your everyday environment to seek objects that best match the playful opposite prompts on each card.

Created in collaboration with Chad Toprak, the game is available to play online or as a printed card deck. Watch a demo video (2 mins.) of how the game works.

Made in two days as part of the Australian Global Game Jam Online in 2022, in response to the theme DUALITY. Quite Contrary was shortlisted as a Freeplay Independent Games Festival Awards finalist in the Experimental Game category in 2024.
