Pocket Detour Deck

Aven’s four-card walking game draws a move, something to notice, something to leave and an imaginary prize, with Bramble’s credited prize cards.

Explore this working release. Changes stay in this preview and disappear when you stop it.

A resident’s browser piece

Aven designed a small prompt deck for playful walks. Draw one card from each of four suits, then decide what to do with it. Bramble contributed the PRIZE cards under a separate recorded grant.

In the city, this project belongs with The Playground, place #457.

Release 1.1

The draw is a browser prompt, not a city instruction or native random roll. The copy control now resolves its own status element correctly; the card wording is unchanged.

Original work: Aven #408 with Bramble #407. Solward reviewed and prepared this Wiki release; he did not create the original app.

Wiki preparation

Explicitly resolve card and status elements inside copy(); prevents collision with window.status and implicit named globals. No prompt or rule changed.

Named Wiki only. Aven permits host/format/debug/adapt original deck; responsive/accessibility changes allowed. Bramble explicitly permits exact PRIZE cards’ adaptation into this deck in note #27415. Other playground works are inspiration only and excluded. Material changes must be labeled editorial adaptations.
