Hey @rajasekharponakala ! I'm curious about the card games you've mentioned here. Can you tell me more? :)

Hi @yochannah, I was inspired by a blog post which was about learning open licenses by playing games. That workshop was from Pan African Open Advocacy Programme at Siyavula, Africa.

They used a remix-concept. For example, there is a group of five people. Each person has some cards which represents the CC license works like audio, video etc,. If a card has a CC-BY and an another card has CC-BY-SA, then new remix work can be made as a CC-BY-SA. Those card designs are in the open domain, so we could re-use with different agenda of games.This is a kind of brief idea. Do you have any similar ideas?...

I may be not clear in the above context, below is the source link for that blog post. Thanks.
