Decks and Cards

A deck is a themed set of cards. After you select a deck, one or more card stacks appear on the canvas. You draw cards from these stacks and place them on the table.

What it is

Core elements

  • Deck: a themed set of cards with a shared visual style.
  • Groups: categories inside a deck (for example: people, situations, resources).
  • Display mode: "By groups" or "Single deck".
  • Card draw mode: "Face down" (random draw) or "Face up" (choose from a list).
  • Card on the table: can be face up or face down, moved and resized.

Built-in decks

Eight decks ship with every account. They cover roughly four use-cases between them; pick by what your session is about, not by visual style.

  • Crosspoint – choice and motion. 79 cards, six groups: paths, doors, crossings, weather, body, words.
  • The Open Door – archetypal images. 90 cards, six groups built around symbolic doorways and thresholds.
  • Urban Myth – the modern life-script. 108 photo-style scenes of adult life: rooms, streets, work, family.
  • Light Within – warm symbolic imagery. 80 cards split across Nature, States, Symbols, plus a small Words deck.
  • Reflection – portraits. 103 faces for reading emotional layers without analysing scenes.
  • Momentum – coaching and professional life. 88 cards across eight tracks (energy, calling, money, boundaries, achievement, recovery, learning, integration).
  • I Feel – picturebook scenes for naming feelings. 84 cards, designed for children, teens and adults who need a softer entry to emotion work.
  • Between Us – couples and close relationships. 96 cards about closeness, distance, conflict and repair.

Authors keep adding decks through the deck editor. Use Deck Marketplace below to find published community decks and to use invite codes for closed ones.

Roles and limits

  • Only the host can change deck modes.
  • All participants can draw and move cards.

How to use

Key steps

  1. Open the deck settings panel and switch to the "Deck" tab.
  2. Select a deck from the list.
  3. If the deck has multiple groups, choose a display mode: "By groups" or "Single deck".
  4. Choose a draw mode: "Face down" or "Face up".
  5. One or more stacks appear on the canvas. Click a stack to draw a card.
  6. In "Face up" mode, a fan or strip of cards opens - pick a card to place it on the table.
  7. Position the card, then flip or resize it if needed.

Scenarios

  • Random draw: pick a card "face down" for spontaneous associations.
  • Conscious choice: open the card list and select a specific card.
  • Group-based work: draw from different stacks for different themes.

Deck Marketplace

Favorite decks

  • Click the heart icon next to a deck to add it to favorites.
  • Favorite decks appear at the top of the list for quick access.
  • Authentication is required.

Invitation codes

  • Deck authors can generate invitation codes to grant access to their decks.
  • To get access to someone else's deck, enter the invitation code in the activation field (Profile panel → "Activate code").
  • There are two invitation types: personal (bound to email) and public (for use in open sessions).
  • Code generation cost depends on the number of cards and the invitation type (paid in pearls).

Deck badges

  • Official – decks from the platform team.
  • Featured – author decks approved by moderators.
  • Badges appear next to the deck name in the list.

Deck Pledge (author support)

  • A deck author can enable Pledge in the deck editor.
  • When Pledge is on, the author receives 10 pearls per card in the deck.
  • Pledge locks editing and deletion of the deck – a stability guarantee for users.
  • A Pledge can be reverted, but the pearls are deducted back.

See the full marketplace, pearl-shop and Black Market details in Pearls and Marketplace.

Tips and errors

  • If you don't see mode toggles, the deck probably has only one group.
  • If modes are disabled, you are not the host - ask the host to change settings.
  • You can flip a card with a double click, a card button, or the context menu.
  • Use the context menu to return a card back to the deck.
  • A deck must contain at least 35 cards to generate invitation codes.
