Oblique Strategies

Oblique Strategies: In 1975, Peter Schmidt and Brian Eno created the original pack of Oblique Strategies cards. Eno and his friend, the artist Peter Schmidt discovered they used a very similar approach to problem solving. As a collaboration they produced a series of cards to use as a set of basic working principles which guided them through moments of pressure.

The first four editions of The Oblique Strategies turn up on eBay occassionally. The fifth edition published in 2002 is available on Brian Eno’s website.
