Why it is called a Starter Pack? The idea is that we have hopes of making booster packs of cards based on specific habitats or places one might normally hike, explore, or in general be involved with nature. Meaning that we hope to share the subsequent booster packs with you as we create them. They would, of course, be sold at a lesser price as you'd only be obtaining more cards for game play.

How many people can play this game? We've played with as few as 3 and as many 12. The game was originally created with our small family of four in mind. However, it's quite easily adaptable and that's included in the instructions/rules of the game. When we played with more people we had a few teams of 2 going around the board. 

Do I need anything Special to get printing? No! You can print your game cards on regular paper or card stock. We printed our first test batch on red card stock (scrapbooking paper cut to fit in the printer) and our final play batch was printed on a lovely tan card stock. Once we printed on both sides of our paper (challenges on one side, Nature Game on the other side) we laminated the cards before cutting them apart.

How do you store your game? We store our's in an empty flour sack, mostly because we have an excess supply of them. A simple plastic shoe style box would work too if your box is big enough to fit the game board. We keep our cards rubber banded together and our little acorn/beads stored in a small drawstring bag. Use whatever works for you! We may be selling the bags for storage down the tracks, as well as premade game boards.. time will tell.


Is The Nature Game region specific? No, we created the game while living in Tasmania and we use it freely here, but it isn't specific to our region. If you have trees, lizards, rocks, logs, toads, frogs, spiders, birds, and a general curiosity about you then you'll have no trouble using the game. We do use our own field guides which are region specific, but clearly you'd use your own which would be specific to the area in which you reside.
