What Do You Feel?

Abstract

“What Do You Feel?”, is a card game created to address the emotional challenges faced by college students through humor, empathy, and emotional literacy. Inspired by therapeutic models such as Gefühlsmonster cards, the game prioritizes accessibility, introspection, and community over shock-based humor common in contemporary card games. Players have to respond to emotion based cards with scenario cards, after which a rotation “judge” attempts to guess which player submitted each response. Guessing correctly shows that “the judge” is aware of the struggles and anxieties of the rest of the players and this attribute is rewarded .Through these elements, the game constitutes an effort to foster meaningful social interaction emphasizing understanding over competition and prioritizing emotional awareness rather than dominance. Overall, the project highlights how thoughtful game design can transform games into tools for both entertainment and meaningful dialogue.
