# Research design games

A physical deck of cards is available to help you design your research. Instead of the physical cards, you could also use the online list of ICT methods and/or the CMD methods.

How you use the cards is up to you, but here are a couple of suggestions.

Negative selection and Triangulation are especially suitable to use in solo projects you do by yourself, such as your internship or final project. For teams there is Triangulation "go fish", Game of four and Network game, although with a little creativity you could also apply those game mechanics to a solo game.

Please note: To play these games you first need a rough idea of your goal. Otherwise, you have no idea of what kind of information you will need to achieve that goal. If you do not have a goal yet, it is better to first meet with the client or, if you choose your own goal, have a brainstorming session.
