About the game
What you do in a play session
Ever wanted a game you can explain to a kid in two minutes but still enjoy with the whole family? That's Défis Nature! It's a super dynamic card game that blends learning about the animal kingdom with the thrill of trying to win every single card in the round. The goal is straightforward: you want to end up with as many cards in your hand as possible. For quicker sessions, you can just set a timer, and whoever has the most cards at the end wins.
The gameplay is very intuitive. Each card features an animal and lists several characteristics (like speed, weight, or strength). The first player picks a characteristic and plays a card. Then, everyone else follows suit, trying to play the highest value for that specific attribute. The winner of the round takes all the cards from that trick and starts the next one.
But wait, there's a twist! The cards are categorized into four conservation statuses, ranging from 'afe' to 'critically endangered.' If you play cards from the 'endangered' categories, you gain the power to change the round's chosen characteristic, which can completely flip the table and ruin your opponents' plans. It's fast, educational, and perfect for learning something new while having fun with friends. If you're looking for something light for a coffee break or to teach your little ones, this is a winner!
