In addition to literary works, Umberto Eco also had a hand in designing a card game. The game used custom designed cards to represent characters and verbs which the players would use to tell a story.

- Udik 11y agoThanks. The idea reminds me of another great Italian novelist, Italo Calvino, and his 1973 novel "The Castle of Crossed Destinies". From Wikipedia: "Its narrative details a meeting among travellers who are inexplicably unable to speak after travelling through a forest. The characters in the novel recount their tales via Tarot cards, which are reconstructed by the narrator." (that is, the narrator observes the sequence of cards chosen and reconstructs the stories after them).
