Introducing the Space Oddity Project, a simple and enjoyable card game designed for fun gatherings with friends and family. Inspired by a graffiti artwork called "Underwater Kiss" in Berlin, the German game "Der Schwarze Peter," David Bowie's iconic song "Space Oddity," and the film "2001: A Space Odyssey," this game brings a unique twist to the classic card format with a fresh and modern design. Paying tribute to the legendary David Bowie, we aim to revitalize the traditional playing cards, making them more captivating and lively. Our project goes beyond mere game design, aiming to bridge the ancient art of divination with a contemporary audience. With a new, vibrant, and user-friendly aesthetic, we hope to engage a wider player base and alleviate any reservations about the game's original dark designs. By incorporating double exposure elements that can only be seen with a red and blue light, we create an immersive and space-themed atmosphere, captivating players even further. Alongside new rules and creatively modified cards, we strive to provide an entertaining and engaging experience for all.
