In the game ‘More Than Words’, the participants were divided into two groups and the representatives of each group randomly selected one of the cards in the deck. Each participant suggested words related to the selected term (e.g., Share, Trust, Activity, Familiar) and when asked what they would like to have in an online community, some of the answers were: nutrition, voice commands, and travelling information.
