Method
Association Machine Gun
How
Pick a card. Call out a few associations the card gives you. Use these associations to think up new ideas for your problem. The funnier, the better!
Does the flow of ideas slow down to a trickle? Then it’s time to pick another card. Next!
Canvas
Need some extra help? We’ve designed a special canvas for Association Machine Gun so you can brainstorm even better and easier!
Example
Imagine it’s too busy at work. he first card you draw is a mouse. Maybe you could hide yourself! Or make a sad peeping sound to make your colleagues feel sorry for you. Next card: a sword! Perhaps you need to cut your job in two. Another card! Cinderella. Find your own Cinderella; someone who does all those terrible tasks for you (that makes you the evil stepmother, but oh well). Still not enough ideas? Keep drawing cards!
