Memories Session II

In Memories Session II, two players try to collaboratively construct a conversation between two parties. One player places sentences from the deck in the conversation and the other player, who knows the secret emotional arc the conversation needs to reflect for the players to win, removes sentences one at a time.

Memories Session II is composed entirely of conversations I overheard or was told about while I was a boy. Salvaged from diary entries and old school notes, these conversations give a small look into the trials of adolescence. By acting out the private dramas of my schoolmates through this collaborative exercise in emotional intelligence, players can achieve a sense of communication and closure those schoolmates never did.
