Draw a game and what it asks for
A small taste: twelve games and a few dozen suggestions. Some of the suggestions were generated, then reviewed by improvisers. They're labelled.

-
Practice
Run games at rehearsal with fresh suggestions every time. What you practised is kept with your past shows.
-
Workshops
Draw the next game and what it needs, or pick from four and let the room choose.
-
Just for fun
A games night, a party, a long journey. Nobody has to think of a location.
How it works
-
Draw, pick from four, or type
Take what comes, choose from four, or type your own.
-
Games bring what they need
Choose a game, or let it surprise you, and its asks are dealt as cards: a job for Job Interview, a few strong feelings for Emotion Options.
-
Fresh every time
It keeps track of what you've had, so the same suggestions don't keep coming back.
-
Real audiences, or written for Sidewing
Choose suggestions real audiences have sent, ones written for Sidewing, or either.
-
Practice becomes a plan
Everything you play is kept as today's practice, and you can turn it into a draft plan in the order you played it.
