Great decks of cards and a lot of thought and care went into the product. I’m a product manager who’s been seeking to improve and these cards are incredibly helpful! I was able to use the retrospective card to run a project retro. I’m excited to use the storytelling deck as well!

Strategic Planning Facilitator
As a facilitator and marketer, I had hoped that the Workshop Tactics and Storyteller Tactics would add some additional tools to my teams' toolboxes. Having seen many versions of "decks" before, I was initially skeptical about the value they would deliver.
Ultimately, testimonials from others convinced me to give them a shot. They have been more than worth it. The simple system for their use, the quality of the content, the quality of the decks themselves - are all excellent.
The best thing about them is that they have become a fun way to interact with my team to come up with solutions. I love them so much, I have already pre-ordered all of their soon to be released decks.

I already had the electronic cards, and now that I get the physical cards, I enjoy it even more. I use the cards to plan internal workshops. It also gives me input for the normal, small meetings, which are now more varied. The combination of physical maps (with super quality) and digital maps (always available) is perfect.

This was an amazing investment. I can easily improvise at short notice before any big decision-making meeting or an event although I'm a complete newbie to creating workshops. I just suss out what I want to achieve, grab the deck and have a clear idea of how the meeting or event should run within 5 minutes. Thanks so much - it's worth so much more than I paid! By the way: This is a detail but was much appreciated. I ordered from Germany and got it sent nationally so I didn't have to mess with the toll office. Thanks for considering this!

I work with storytelling and storymaking for therapeutical purposes. I purchased the storytelling tactics and they’re heaven on earth for those of us who need to be more objective and practical when creating stories. It is really as it is said on the ad, I’ve been reading so many of those storytelling books, bought other card decks, and it is time consuming and frustrating to find the nuggets that really worth it and could be applied for my specific need.
But this card deck worth it! Now I can find what I need much faster than ever in a way that open my mind to be creative and productive. Just go for it! Honestly, it is such a relief to find out that the ad is actually true to word with the product.

I have to say my main hesitation was how useful it would be for education, but it absolutely is. It was really worth the money. I am a teacher and trainer in the field of media literacy. I bought the workshop tactics because I wanted to get some new ideas in how to compose workshops and team meetings. I love the way it inspires to do things differently without having to put in a lot of effort. It is easy to use, both complete workshop ideas and the cards individually as inspiration. Love it!

Hi, My name is Nigel Hedges, I’m the Group Head of Cybersecurity at a very large multi-national retailer in Australia and New Zealand. I purchased both the Story Telling and Workshop Decks. My whole aim was to be able to help educate my team and other technology teams around powerful communication using stories and facilitation techniques in workshops for technical people.
I wasn’t sure initially whether Pip Decks was legit, but was suprised, pleased and relieved that it’s authentic…i LOVE the cards and the digital format too. I think worth the money given the level of instruction and power contained within.
I love how the cards are so succinct and logical, lots of creative ways to follow the “recipes” or create your own set of card-based activities based on what you need to create awesome experiences. I just love the look and feel of the cards.

I lead an operations team in an EdTech Start Up in Spain. I bought both the Workshop & Storyteller Tactics decks in December and I am having a great experience using them. Therefore I though I would leave this review here in case it might help you go head and make this super worthy investment. I have already put both decks into use to run my team meetings, prepare business presentations and basically to get inspired, communicate with purpose and more efficiently. The Slack community serves as great help us well :)

I use Workshop Tactics ALL the time for my coaching sessions. Plus, I have a very popular podcast on Creative Real Estate and use the Storyteller Tactics card to create interesting podcasts to listen to. At first, I wasn't sure they would be helpful, but now that I have them, I wouldn't know what to do without them! Both products have helped me increase my income, and generate more podcast listeners, and engaged students. I LOVE them!

I got the vault (just feels good to say “I got the vault”) and it's a great place to be. I don't think you would be disappointed. If you have a business your going to write it off as an expense. The videos and how-to’s are great guides to the world of storytelling and workshop cards. They are like my companions to the cards. Being in the slack channel is really valuable. I like reading about what other people are working on and which cards they applied to their scenario.

I bought the Storyteller Tactics deck (digital and physical cards) to help me gain confidence in sharing information and really getting to know my audience. It was (and continues to be) WORTH EVERY SINGLE PENNY! If you're reading this review because you want a real person's testimony as to why you should invest your hard-earned money on this, here it is: Buy It. It'll be well worth your purchase and will pay dividends in your confidence (and, ultimately, your paycheck!).

I was hunting around for ages trying to find a simple yet highly effective way to collaborate with my clients and co-workers. I came across Workshop tactics and was blown away with how well designed it was and how quick, easy and simple it was to construct a highly effective workshop. It was worth every coin!!! The best thing about this deck...is it being a physical product. It's great to grab it, thumb through the cards and plan a session. It also adds so much professionalism when you bring it out with your clients. Great product, great company and can't wait to use all the other decks 😎

Wrangling such big teams to ensure everyone has a voice is a priority for me. Pip Decks allows me to easily select an appropriate facilitation methodology rather than fall back on the 2 or 3 I use most often.

Storyteller Tactics comes out when I start or get stuck, from brainstorming taglines to mapping user journeys and writing user research reports. It’s genuinely one of my most used tools. At first I was concerned the deck wouldn't be applicable to the types of stories I usually wrangle with as I don't do big public presentations or write externally facing articles. Turns out the deck never fails to improve whatever story I am telling, regardless of scale or audience. Sometimes all I need is to flip through a few cards to get untangled, sometimes I have a specific card help me through a long process. I've used the deck as a PDF for months and just got my physical deck, which is brilliant quality. My deck is on my desk at work and has grabbed the attention of my colleagues too, who are now borrowing it to brainstorm and fiddle with.

Workshop Tactics led to the most productive single hour I've had in recent memory. It was a great way to refocus my team. Highly recommended. We used ⛵ Sailboat in my team meeting last week to re-center my team goals. We used MIRO (free version) and it was good enough to get us by.

We went for the Workshop Tactics and our expectations to get some guidance to prepare some internal workshops. The main hesitation point was if we would get more value than everything that is available online or as a book. It was definitely worth the money, as it helped us to focus on the right activities and get the answers we targeted during the workshops. The card quality is one great added value overall.

I never felt that I got the most out of the people and clients I worked with when we ran workshops together. I lacked creativity and wasn't sure I was asking the right questions. Workshop Tactics changed the game. It was unique and super valuable. The Get Unstuck card is a favourite. It's also really cool having something like this you can physically bring along, it's a good conversation starter and helps people understand what you're trying to do even before you get into the session. Looking forward to Idea Tactics and Brand Tactics next!

Here at Evenbreak we use Pip Decks Workshop Tactics for product/service development, continuous improvement and running effective team feedback days and workshops. I loved them so much that we bought a second set so we could plan sessions independently and see if we'd chosen the same cards.
One of the most accessible business tools I've used. The great thing is that the simple explanations mean that everyone taking part can understand what we're doing and why. Adds structure and encourages focus. Worth every penny. Highly recommended.

Sr Manager, Talent Acquisition @ SSENSE
I really loved the Pip decks because it provided a clear, step-by-step and customizable guide. It completely removed the guess work from building strategy workshops. It's well worth the money invested, especially if you are used to reading lots of material to figure things out by yourself. It's a lot less expensive than working with a consultant! I manage a large team of recruiters for an online retailer. The company I work for is scaling dramatically, so there is very little support to help build off-sites and strategy workshops. Meanwhile, as the recruitment team, we have to hire more than ever to meet the demands of scaling. I bought both Pip Decks to help me bring my team and our stakeholders together on the projects we would prioritize to accomplish our objectives.

I bought Workshop Tactics through work on a recommendation and have been so pleased that I did. Having the physical deck really helps when planning meetings, workshops and thinking. I've used them with students, staff, on internal projects and when working with external businesses. They are thoughtfully worked out, clear and easy to follow and well worth the pitch that I did to buy them through work! I wasn't sure how often I'd use them when I bought them, but they've been in easy reach on my desk ever since . I'm looking forward to playing with the new Miro templates for future use, although I found them adaptable to hybrid/online use already. Love the continuous evolution and drive of PipDecks, keep them coming!

I run educational programs for entreprenuers and host a number of workshops. I like the deck, it's helpful and breaks down concepts in an easily understandable way. Definitely worth the small investment. I love how it is visually laid out!

I bought the workshop tactics and then the storyteller tactics. I hoped it would help me facilitate workshops, and it's worked great for that. I didn't really have a hesitation about buying these, they're great quality and I recently showed them to an older friend at a party, and she said these are really well made (as opposed to many she's seen before). I think these are worth the money. What I love most about them are the easy to use recipes or sessions that help you take a big picture view of a problem that needs solving so you can basically just run through a bunch of them to get where you need to go.. very simple to use :)

The cards itself have a great navigational potential and they guide you through various design thinking processes. Furthermore, they really give you this certain kind of "starting-from-scratch" feeling, you create something new (instead of copying the old ppt/keynote templates and readjusting the slides). They focus on content, get rid of digital distractors, experience haptic creativity. If you wonder whether to buy only digital pack or also printed version - definitely! Great product support, transparent policies, grassroots feeling; *haptic experience, shuffling the cards and always coming up with new ideas/methods and ways to solve a problem or design a story.

I've had my Workshop Tactics deck for a few months now and was hoping that it would help expand my toolkit for facilitating workshops beyond just idea generation. It's really helped me understand what steps to follow at different maturity points of a given project to help get the team moving and aligned. I really love that it has a variety of tools to help you no matter which step you are at whether it be setting goals, understanding problems, framing them, generating ideas, prioritisation, decision making, facilitating discussion and techniques - there is always multiple ways to go about what you're set out to achieve.
