There is no Business Like Art Business

The Business Card game. 

The Pack
88 cards selected from 1985-2017:
The oldest being T&A Associates - International Networking and Marketing;
And the most recent, Quality Solicitors, with the bulk representing art and culture. 

Object of the game
Soul trading.
​First shuffle the pack and place face down. 
Draw the first nine cards and place in a grid of 3x3. 
Reorganise the layout until you attain a state of visual and textual perfection.
Read text or conjure image: horizontally or vertically, backwards or forwards.

Contextual rules
These cards were exchanged during a conversation between potential business partners. 
​The card allowed the tribal chanting and affirmation of a business or personality.
A call and response might be triggered by phone or email. 
There might be a visionary mission or logo that inspired one to connect. 
In all sincerity, 90% were joker cards leading to no deals.
I seem to recall only having a business card, hand-made, from 2008-10.
This was at the height of the financial crisis.
