These cards, first presented at Nesta's 2019 Government Innovation Summit, are a playful way of exploring how we think about government.

Use them to name what is going on, imagine alternative futures and expand your imagination.

You will receive four "control" cards and four "shared power" cards, the beautiful illustration by renowned illustrator Joe Wilson, as well as inspiration for how to use the cards.

All cards are approximately A6 size.

All materials are printed in the UK.
