Clades

Clades: The Evolutionary Card Game by Jonathan Tweet & Karen Lewis, and published by Atlas Games is a pattern recognition and matching card game stuitable for 1+ players ages 6 and up which takes 15-20 minutes to play.

A "clade" is a branch of the evolutionary family tree such as mammals, arthropods, and sauropsids that are thought to have evolved from a common ancestor.

In Clades, players must quickly scan an array of cards on the table - along with their own private card - to make triples as quickly as possible. Whoever spots the most triples wins.

Clades is both an exciting race as well as a beneficial educational tool, which demonstrates the evolutionary relationships between animal species, and provides facts on animal description cards.
