*Wow, look, it’s a “design fiction” product that really sort of exists and that you can spend real money on, sort of.

These appear to be the standard Design Fiction Product Design Work Kit. It is identical in most respects to the original, based as it is on a copy of the original schema, found last year in storage during a division audit.
The contents include:
* 1 (one) 52 card DF-DBCPC 0-7 Design Fiction Design Brief Creation Playing Cards Deck
* 1 (one) DF-PDIR 0-7 Design Fiction Product Design Idiom Reference
* 1 (one) assortment of 4×6 blank cards
* 1 (one) pack of ISO 216 blank playing cards
* 1 (one) Sharpie Fine Point Marker
* 1 (one) 16mm d6 die
* 1 (one) 16mm blank die
We have a limited number available, all in new condition.

The instructions read:

The core element of this work kit is the most atomic of design briefs. By using the Design Fiction, Design Brief Creation Playing Cards (DF-DBCPC 0-7) one can define the core elements of a designed product. One card from each color assigns the prompts for what the product is. These elements can be adorned as one sees fit, using the DF-PDIR 0-7, for example, to factor in additional attributes, names, brands, &c.

Each reference idiom can be randomly or algoritmically chosen as needed during, for example, the MadLibs® design phase, product definition, brief creation, in response to drawing a Joker from the DF-DBCPC 0-7, or as additions and variations to the DF-DBCPC 0-7 Attribute, Object or Design Action cards.
