Future Study

Jack Fortune

Jack Fortune proposes a formal system of cards, dice, tokens, and game pieces in which chance is visible but never visually random. The work remains conceptual.

Conceptual direction; physical construction has not begun.

Dice, cards, tokens, and small game pieces

Material study for Jack Fortune, showing the proposed surface materials before construction.

Conceptual only. Possible studies include shallow pockets, stitched card fragments, and restrained clusters of hard game pieces.

Joint clearance and the behavior of paper and hard pieces remain hypothetical until a physical study exists.

Physical presence

No physical layout, pocket, or attachment test is currently verified.

Decision record

No physical failure record exists. A future layout would need visible rules so chance does not read as arbitrary scatter.

Handling and care

No physical object currently exists to preserve.
