57 points de rencontres

The game Dobble and its ancestor the Game of insects created by Jacques
Cottereau are observation and speed card games that have a particularity:
if you choose two random cards, you will always find a symbol in common. I
tried to figure out how to reconstruct this game and I discovered projective
geometry, in which, at infinity, there is a line formed by all the points
where parallel lines meet. 57 points de rencontres is a representation of the
game construction method, initially designed for the biennal heart@geneva,
then as input for the duo Pleased to meet you.
