Making TRACS: The Diagrammatic Design of a Double-Sided Deck

Abstract

TRACS: Tool for Research on Adaptive Cognitive Strategies, is a new family of card games played with a special deck. Each card in the deck is a double-sided diagram, where the back gives a clue to the front.

Here I present the design of the deck and discuss some research results.
