Slovenian cultural heritage is very important for our history and development of the nation. In the past, people have devoted much more time to socializing and, consequently, to preserving cultural heritage, and today, with the effects of globalization and the rapidity of life, few things are preserved and passed on from generation to generation. Memory game is a board game that has a great effect on memory training and spending free time. That is why we decided to focus in our master’s thesis on preserved Slovenian cultural heritage by using Slovenian ornaments on cards intended for the memory game.
Board games can be played by both adults and children. We decided to design a memory game because the game is simple and is intended for both adults and children. Our aim was primarily to bring Slovenian ornaments closer to the younger ones, as it is precisely among young people that the lack of knowledge of Slovenian cultural heritage is the most problematic.
In the master’s thesis we theoretically investigated the history of playing cards, board games, methods of memory training and the history of ornaments, with a focus on Slovenian ornament.
We analyzed two sets of memory game from abroad, which are also intended to preserve the history of a particular country and the use of Slovenian ornaments on products that appear on our market. The aim of the master’s thesis was to create playing cards for the memory game with the use of Slovenian ornament and thus help preserve the Slovenian cultural heritage of the younger ones. Since memory cards do not have as pronounced characteristics as ordinary playing cards, we decided on the final design based on our ideas.
