Phylo-mon Card Game
Phylo Card Game created by UBC Beaty Biodiversity Museum
Did you know that the average kid knows more about Pokemon than they do about the animals that live around them? This game is here to change that!

This 2-player game will teach you about local animals, their ecosystems and the dynamic food chain system that surrounds them!
