Smoko Chat Card Game
Tailwind was commissioned to design the new card game Smoko Chat for Josh Chapman — founder of Your Place Building Co. and YouTube personality NZ Builder. Smoko Chat officially launched last weekend and is available to purchase at smokochat.co.nz!
Tradespeople tend to be known for their gruff work culture, but beyond the stereotype are individuals who, like all of us, could benefit from a deeper connection with their peers. This card game is all about helping teams bond, share ideas, and improve collaboration. It’s a simple, fun way to create a more positive work environment.
The game includes four card types, each with increasingly personal prompts:
Random Banter — fun, quick prompts for easy chatting.
Back in My Day — questions about general background and life history.
Mate Ya Dreamin’ — future aspirations, wishes and desires for life.
A Little Bit About Me — deeper questions to get to know each other on a new level.
It was a pleasure to execute Josh Chapman’s vision for this game, and we think it’s a great way to spark meaningful conversations in any workplace.
Shoutout to our print broker, Chris Keen, for all his valuable input during the print process and for taking charge of carefully assembling each set by hand.
