Frequently asked questions about Jack Dogg's card Game

​

Colleagues that have played it have unanimously agreed that college/engineering students learning the sciences would eat this game up because it guarantees repetition in learning and allows for people to subliminally inquire a sincere interest in wanting to learn physics regardless of their degree.   But it's not just restricted to engineering 'geeks'.  Educational private schools, homeschools, and because of a very unique feature it has in the game play that is not even educational, the game could be appreciated to party goers who like traditional poker.

So how do you play?

​

Think of it like Apples to Apples meets Poker.  The objective of the game is to  come up with an (ideally entertaining) story that ties in the topic in the description card with whatever situation is being described in the special 'stories/inventions' deck.   Ok...it sounds so simple, but you'd need to read the outlandishness, the sheer absurdity of tales that are being described in the card decks to savor the thrill of the game.  Describing it mere words is like trying to describe discovering the meaning of life itself -- words won't do it justice; just play the game!   Anyhow, once the round goes live, go around for each player, everybody gets a chance to ‘2’  also come up with an outlandish story.  The most entertaining the story will receive a total of 3 extra points for that round.

​

Can parents use Jack Dogg's card Game to teach physics?  

​

Absolutely!   The interactive replay value is so functional, kids will be asking you what different topics are over and over.   You'll look like an all-knowing guru  and inspirational mentor to their impressionable young eyes as you capture the opportunity to teach them at your hearts content.  Easy to use descriptions of all physics topics found in the description cards along with the illustrations on the cards that make the physics principles come to life is all you'll need.   If you want to take all the credit for showing them the facts of life, have a blast!

​

Sounds too happy family oriented a game.  It's probably then a lame party game

Actually, it's an ever better party game than a learning game.  Just play the modified version of the game  and let your brain tap into surreal storytelling and stupidity as you try to make it through the rounds
