Description
Go Extinct! Megafauna is a curriculum-aligned STEM educational card game about Australia’s megafauna and the evolutionary relationships between species. The game teaches players about the gentle giants and mega-predators that roamed the continent during the Pleistocene epoch and how to read an evolutionary tree, one of the most important diagrams in all of science. Recommended for children aged eight and up, the game also teaches players scientific language, shares some fascinating facts about each animal, and provides the names of some animals in Indigenous languages. You can find a video summary of the game on YouTube, and the image assets are available CC-BY-SA on Wikimedia Commons.
