Community
Together, we're stronger.
Community is built through countless small interactions—sharing resources, celebrating wins, and showing up for each other. When we invest in our communities, we create networks of mutual support that benefit everyone. These cards recognize that building community is an ongoing practice of connection and care.
🃏 Featured Community Cards
Action cards that embody this theme:
Start a 'take/return' shelf for tools and games. Trust your neighbors. Revolutionize sharing.
Clean up the ugliest corner of your neighborhood. Document the before/after. Shame the litterers gently.
Post a 'Neighbor Wins' board where people anonymously share small victories. Celebrate relentlessly.
Organize neighbor skill sharing: budgeting, sourdough, phone tricks. Payment accepted in gratitude and baked goods.
Set up a table at an event offering sincere compliments. No roasting. Maximum wholesome chaos.
