Optional Trading Card Add-On: Save money by bundling the posters with a set of Archetype Trading Cards, which comes five archetype-based games and activities. Designed for both the classroom and casual play, this deck of 20 3.5 x 2.5" cards features the same eye-popping illustrations and descriptions as the posters. Draw on your background knowledge of literature and media to play five different games detailed on the accompanying rulesheet. Some are traditional favorites such as Archetype Charades and Guess-the-Archetype. Others are new experiences such as the Archetype Story Challenge, where players must tell a group story, and Archetype Dinner Party, where players use their creativity to take on the persona of a certain archetype.
