Official words:
The Goethe-Institut Johannesburg, in cooperation with augmented reality specialists Something Else Design Agency, has created a brand new card game which not only celebrates South African freestyle football culture, but also brings it alive through the latest Augmented Reality technology.

The game will be launched in a fun filled event on 27 October 2018 at the Goethe-Institut, with opportunities to play the game and a freestyle competition aiming to find new talent. The competition will be judged by a jury consisting of professional freestylers and PSL players, with amazing prizes to be won. Participants can enter by uploading a short video of their skills on social media, tagging the Goethe-Institut and using the hashtag #DiskiSkills.

THE FREESTYLE COMPETITION

The Diski Skills AR Card Game aims to promote South African street and freestyle football. In line with this, the freestyle competition hopes to unearthen new freestyling talents from Gauteng and increase the visibility of freestyle football in South Africa.

  • That sounds pretty interesting. For folks that aren't in the area, will you share more about your game at some point after this weekend? I'm personally keen to see more :)
  • Yeah I'll share some info after the event, I haven't even seen the components myself yet as I only worked on the game design and none of the graphic design, which is weird for me :P

  • Okay! The game was released, and it was rad to see people play the game and having fun without my having to tell them anything. Everything from kids to adults. So I count that as a yay :)

    I wrote a blog about it, which includes the rules of the game:

    Ah heck here are the rules, though in a photo since I don't have the files (since I didn't work on the actual graphics, again, weird!)

  • This sounds awesome, wish I coulda been there. So what did the AR element do to the cards? L
    .?
  • The AR element is not part of the gameplay but it shows off a video of the move depicted on the card, so people can learn the move. It was pretty fun. I didn't get a good photo of the feature, here a bad photo :)
