I've long been an admirer of the Japanese renga, a collaborative poetic form. One of the major drawbacks, however, is trying to remember the rules. Each person participating must write a two- or three-line stanza using a pre-determined subject, usually a season of the year. In an autumn renga, shown here, the first writer begins with a three-line verse about autumn. The next writer completes a two-line verse about the moon, which is usually related to autumn.

The game board above really nicely condenses these rules. Even though this was just a simple assignment, it solved a long-standing problem for me. I'll most likely continue working on this project in the future. If you're curious about the form or this version of it, download the attached SVG below and print it out on nice paper. Included is a layer that holds the colored squares you can use to write the renga verses. I strongly recommend you use a size of paper bigger than 8.5 x 11, and I suggest you open it with the outstanding SVG editor, Inkscape.
