Perfect for in class activities or as a reference set, the cards can be downloaded for free or purchased from the  <http://www.designplaycards.com/> website. 

The cards are divided into three groups: The ‘Design Problem’ set challenges players to solve social and environmental design issues, the ‘Design Inspiration’ set encourages players to find inspiration through real world solutions in action and the ‘Design Strategy’ cards help players discover opportunities through sustainable design thinking.
