SURPRISE!
A sudden gasp,
And the shock in their eye.
Effects desired,
Of any great surprise.
Find your way,
To subvert expectation.
And turn dull moments
Into vacations.
About this card
Routine offers order, space to focus and achieve. But too much routine can be toxic, suffocating our natural desire to learn new things, encounter new allies and grow. Surprise! is the antidote, an act of spontaneity to scramble our patterns, uplift our spirits and inject freshness into our days. Play beyond the card and weave the spirit of Surprise! into how you think and everything you do. You’ll never feel stale again.
