This Is Not a Game About a Pipe
A downloadable game
3 to 4 players 30-40 min.
In 1929, the Belgian surrealist painter Rene Magritte created The Treachery of Images. The painting is perhaps better known by the French text on the painting itself, “Ceci n’est pas une pipe”, translated to English as “This is not a pipe”. Of the painting, Margitte said,
“The famous pipe. How people reproached me for it! And yet, could you stuff my pipe? No, it’s just a representation, is it not? So if I had written on my picture “This is a pipe”, I’d have been lying!”
The Treachery Of Images, 1929 by René Magritte
This surrealist theme is reflected in this game as we consider what things are and what they are not.

This is very cool, looking forward to trying it out! Would it be possible to update the files to make them easier to print double-sided? Centering the cards, collating the card backs, etc.
Give me some time, and I'll make that happen. Thanks for the interest.
First off, this game looks so cool! I'm so excited to play.
I'm also having difficulty getting these printed. My biggest obstacle is the cards being off center.
When will that be available? Also, when is print on demand coming?
Thanks for the interest!
I've update the PNPCards file to allow for aligned double-sided printing on cardstock. If you have any other issues with the pnp files, please let me know.
I'm targeting next week for the POD availability on Gamecrafter. When it's up, I'll update this project page and reply to this post.
Congrats on the game jam win for Best Analog! What's the best email for me to use to coordinate the prize?
