• 8 _" x 11" Card stock (9 pages for 1 deck of cards)
• Glue sticks or paste
• Scissors

 

You will need two sets of the card game pages. One set will be your Guide Pages to use while playing the game. The second set will be used to make a deck of Sonoran Desert Endangered Species playing cards.

 

• Paste each of the six card sets onto card stock.
• Cut out all of the cards.
• Arrange the Guide Pages face up in the center of the playing table or have each player select one Guide Page to use as a reference while playing the game.
• Shuffle the deck of cards.
• Deal 6 cards to each player.
• Place the remaining stack of cards face down in the center of the table. Turn the top card face up and place it beside the stack.
• Each player in turn may pick up one card from the stack or the face up card. After picking up a card the player discards one card onto the face up stack.
• The object of the game is to get all of the cards for one Sonoran Desert Endangered Species set. A complete set should include the Species and it's Food, Water, Shelter, Habitat, and Range.
• The first player to get all six cards in a set says "Habitat" and places the matched set of cards onto the corresponding Guide Page.

Have fun!
