CLIMER CARDS

We ship worldwide from two distribution centres (the USA and Australia,) depending on the item and the quickest and/or most economical route.

How much is shipping?

Once you’ve entered your full postal address at checkout, the shipping cost will be calculated automatically and shown before you complete your order. Note: if you live in the USA or Australia, shipping is free as soon as the value of your order (excluding subscriptions & digital products) exceeds $150.

How long does shipping take?

Shipping time always depends on your location. It isn’t easy to provide an estimate here due to varying logistics, but we always aim to dispatch orders within 24 hours. Write to support@playmeo.com if you need a more accurate estimate of shipping times before you order.

How is this different to Ubuntu Cards or other image-based competitors?

The defining feature is the hand-painted watercolour artwork itself, created entirely by Dr Amy Climer – each image evokes open-ended metaphor rather than a fixed meaning. Where Ubuntu Cards use matching and shared objects to connect people, Climer Cards are built for interpretation, making them a stronger fit when you want participants to project their own meaning onto an image rather than find common ground with others.

Do participants need to be creatively minded or comfortable with abstract thinking?

Not at all. The metaphorical images are designed to give people a starting point when they can’t quite find the words themselves, so they often help less articulate or more literal thinkers just as much as naturally creative ones – sometimes more so.

What are the shapes, colours and numbers on each card for?

Beyond the central image, every card also features a shape, colour and number on the flipside, giving you multiple ways to sort, group or divide participants into pairs and smaller groups – handy for quickly forming teams without needing a separate tool.

Is this designed only as a reflection tool?

No – while Climer Cards excel at reflection, they’re genuinely multi-purpose. The same deck works for lighter, faster-paced team-building activities, sparking creative brainstorms, and even dividing a large group into smaller clusters using the shape and colour categories. The one caveat: since choosing a card is a low-pressure way to contribute, quieter or more introverted participants tend to respond especially well to it, regardless of which use case you’re running.
