Yes this game is a bit odd and not for any Saturday night chill out..</p>
<p>Pictograms generally bear cultural connotations, especially those pointing at abstract meanings (dove, scale, toilets, crown, etc.) Players can say whatever comes to their mind as long as there is some sensible connection <img src="/journal/themes/default/smilies/smile.png" alt=":)" class="smiley" /> We had the "slip" and "dance" cards turned into "quarrel" and "reconcile", which helped us learning 吵架 and 和解. The point is to stimulate creativity rather than restrict the story. However once the idea is formulated, it should be translated accurately.</p>
<p>Flags for languages... yes, tricky and arguable, especially for Spanish, Portuguese, French, Chinese, etc. But it's convenient, elegant, and colorful! For Arabic, it is actually common to use the flag of the Arabic League. I should add a responsibility waiver about any political overtone!</p>
<p>For creative people, i can even give away the DOC file with the original pictures (all cherry-picked from google image last Tuesday, as you guessed!)</p>Polyglot Adventures - Thomasurn:md5:1a5bbf2479efcf92a8faa4dd7d8719c42016-10-04T05:51:30+01:002016-10-04T04:51:30+01:00Thomas<p>Interesting concept <img src="/journal/themes/default/smilies/smile.png" alt=":)" class="smiley" /> ! I may have to choose the players though... not everyone around me is polyglot!</p>
<p>I have a few remarks reading your proposal:<br />
- Some story cards may be biased towards a particular culture. I am thinking for instance to the fork/knife/spoon combo or the caduceus. Does it really matter? We may think of it as an opportunity to learn new things about other cultures. It may even be a feature add more cultural content into the linguistic one, but may also be an obstacle for some people.<br />
- The fact to represent languages by flags is always delicate, because of the political connotations involved. In my company, where we have to deal with this sort of things, we decided to use the language names in their native writing. It may not be that important, but I was just wondering.<br />
- You may want to leave a few blank cards for people to add new languages <img src="/journal/themes/default/smilies/wink.png" alt=";)" class="smiley" /></p>
<p>I guess you took some of the symbols from the Internet. At some point, if you want I can help you with redrawing them as custom vector images, which could be the opportunity to enforce a common style across the whole deck.</p>
