Disruptus asks players to look at objects and ideas and use different approaches––as determined by the roll of the die––to innovate. Disruptus draws inspiration from the very important practice of "disruptive thinking," one of the msot powerful ways to innovate. Disruptive thinking is looking at an object or idea and coming up with an entirely different way to achieve the same end.
When playing Disruptus, players will come up with ideas that may create, transform, improve, or disrupt. The game can be played as competitive or non-competitive.

This beautifully illustrated deck of cards can be used to play pretty much any regular card game, and they also come with gin cocktail illustrations and recipes! This set was designed to be smart as well as fun, so each suit is a distinct type of gin:
- Historic styles: Genever, Bathtub and Old Tom
- Traditional i.e. London Dry
- Modern
- Flavored (including sloe)
Ace through ten cards in each suit features a bottle of gin, and the face cards (Jack, Queen, King) are the cocktails. You'll find a booklet alongside the cards in the box which contains information on each of the gins, including garnish suggestions for the gins featured in the traditional and modern gin categories, along with full recipes for each cocktail in the deck.
