T.I.N.A.
Card games / Writing workshop / Participatory piece
You are a group of narrative designers in charge of building the main character of a game that will soon come to fruition. The designers will have to use the elements present to build a character that thwarts the usual writing facilities.
T.I.N.A. is an experimental card game that helps summon video game characters. T.I.N.A. is a work created by two artists,
Chloé Desmoineaux et Leslie Astier. T.I.N.A. is a narrative experience to share. T.I.N.A. is a tool to analyze and discuss together recurring representations and stereotypes at work.
Each game is an opportunity for players to create new characters with randomly selected contextual constraints. By playing T.I.N.A., participants are invited to compose the characters they would like to see in potential video game works.
This game was created for the Computer Grrrls exhibition at the Gaîté Lyrique. Lyrique.
The game is currently shared in the form of a workshop. This workshop lasts between 1h30 and 2h and requires between 4 and 20 participants. If you are interested in the workshop, you can contact us by personal message on itch or on twitter-X : @lesli__e et @ChloeMoineau
You can visit the dedicated itch.io page and download the game rules.
For the creation of the game, a base of thirty female and enby characters from video games of the last twenty years were studied and dissected in order to create the cards which will serve as the basis for the reconstructions.
