This deck, hosted by Vancouver's Beaty Biodiversity Museum, is the first available "purchasable" STARTER deck. It includes a variety of organisms that are locally relevant to habitats in British Columbia, as well as species found in the museum's exhibition space. Note the game has been play tested for kids 7 and up.
Play the ecosystem game, collect the cards, and contribute to the project!
PHYLO: THE TRADING CARD GAME | The PHYLO(MON) PROJECT [phylogame.org]

PHYLO is a project that began as a reaction to the following nugget of information: Kids know more about Pokemon creatures than they do about real creatures.
PHYLO is also: (1) a card game that makes use of the wonderful, complex, and inspiring things that inform the notion of biodiversity; (2) an exercise in crowd sourcing, open access, and open game development; and (3) FREAKIN’ AWESOME!
