A Game of Pairs Game by Anne Covell

$25.00

“Natural Order: A Game of Pairs is a play on the childhood game of Memory. However, instead of matching like pairs, the goal of this game is to learn to associate and partner symbiotic relationships as they are found in nature. Players learn not only about mutual partnerships, but also about commensal and parasitic ones in order to better understand the complexity, diversity, and often cruel hierarchy to relationships that bring order to the natural world.

46 cards with printed illustrations made from original hand-drawn images on matte laminated smooth finish Eco Herbage paper. This deck includes 30 hand drawn animal cards (15 pairs) with decorative backs, 15 information cards describing each symbiotic relationship with animal pair fronts, and 1 instruction card. Housed in a custom deluxe box.“ - Anne Covell

Box is 4.5” x 3.5” x 1.5”

*Consignment item. Not eligible for 10% membership discount. All consignment purchases are final and non-refundable once shipped.
