This deck of 80 design tools does credit to its name. Infinite Double Diamond Cards is a card deck to help you turn your ideas into action. It is based on the Double Diamond of Design. What makes the deck infinite is that the cards can be shuffled and re-shuffled, giving you unlimited possibilities and inspiration to turn your idea into action.

Why this deck?
No matter what you want to innovate: your proposition, your team culture or trying to make a difference in the world. The authors Carola Verschoor and Rik de Vette view innovation as the creation, development and implementation of new forms of value. It is a verb, because ultimately for innovation to happen, thoughts and ideas must be set in motion by doing.

To help you with innovating, the authors created the Infinite Double Diamond Cards. These 80 cards not only help you discover what a customer really needs, it also helps you to test, improve and grow your proposition.

They have curated a selection of the best, most impactful methodologies and tools, drawing from disciplines as diverse as research, service design, experience design, business and growth-hacking. Each card is a point in a network of alternative approaches to test your idea or improve your business. They are easy to use, versatile in application and deliver useful results time after time.

How to use this deck?
The front of the cards contains the name of a design thinking tool, reference to the phase in the design process and guidelines regarding time, materials and mindset needed. On the back, players will find a simple, to-the-point description of the methodologies and tools. Together, the cards have the structure of a recipe: “follow step 1, 2, 3 and you are done when …”.

By experimenting playfully with Infinite Double Diamond Cards, designers and innovators will find new and exciting ways to address the problems they are trying to solve.
