On the Stupid Questions Thread I asked

I need some list of biases for a game of Biased Pandemic for our Meet-Up. Do suitably prepared/formatted lists exist somewhere?

But none came forward.

Therefore I created a simple deck based on Wikipedia entries. I selected those that can be presumably be used easily in a game, summarized the description and added an illustrative quote.

The deck can be found in Dropbox here (PDF and ODT).

I'd be happy for corrections and further suggestions.

ADDED: We used these cards during the LW Hamburg Meetup. They attracted significant interest and even though we did use them during a board game we drew them and tried to act them out during a discussion round (which didn't work out that well but stimulated discussion nonetheless).

This is fantastic and each entry is in good format to be converted to SRS (eg, Anki) cards, either backwards or forwards.

Please note that the list is not complete. I only chose only about half of the wikipedia entries - the most important ones and those playable. In particular I left out most of the memory biases as these can't be simulated. Also those thay look too far back into history e.g. childhoodamnesia. I even took the freedom to merge some entries.

Cool. You might also find my attempt at this interesting: http://lesswrong.com/lw/csf/which_cognitive_biases_should_we_trust_in/

Has a full list for other purposes. Hoping to find a way to decide which biases could be worked on first, based on which are most-damaging in normal use, and how often are they used.
