Gather 2-5 players and be the first to collect 5 creature cards in each habitat (prairies, wetlands, and croplands) to win the game!
This game was created to educate elementary students about biodiversity and habitats in Iowa. There is also a strong conservation message taught through "Action Cards" that can either reward you or take away creatures living in your habitats.
Creature Cache was created after the Iowa Department of Natural Resources wanted a game that could both educate and inspire kids to care about nature. This game is being used in 100's of classrooms throughout the Midwest.
Players draw Action Cards that can Skip, Pass, Trade, and Steal from other players.
There are 130 cards in the deck with over 80 different creature cards.
