A cooperative board game for 2-6 players, ages 8 to adult

Armed with just cameras, binoculars & some other equipment, we leave our camp & hike into the Park to learn about wildlife. We may be surprised what we learn about ourselves as well.

Our goal is to bring back as many photographs as we can of the animals we track and end up at the Guest Lodge for refreshment. We will try to leave the Park as undisturbed as possible, maybe leaving only our footprints behind.

Before the game ends, we will learn about the wisdom of the woods, its dangers, its plants (both good & nasty), its creatures, large & small, AND ways of tracking that use sound, scent & sight to best advantage. This will be a shared, group experience!

A Co-operative Card Game for 2 to 6 players, Ages 7 to Adult.

Players are parent Birds trying to save their Baby Birds from Predators such as Hawks and Cats.  The cards provide 6 Places for Nests, 6 Birds, 6 Predators and 6 Kinds of Food.

All the action takes place on the Neighborhood Chart.  Predator Dangers are placed near the Neighborhood.  Places to make Nests are played first, then Nests, then Food for each Nest, which attracts a Predator.

Will we, the parent Birds, be able to chase away the Predator?  Clever play will make all the difference, as we talk over our plans and make careful choices, with each player making an important contribution.

This game is exciting and educational: memory, math and problem solving skills are nurtured as well.

THE STORY: It's that special time of year when Sugar Maple Trees run sweet sap that we collect, then take to the Sugar Shack where the sap is boiled down and made into various sweet products such as sugar crystals, candy and syrup. Ours is a small operation involving such risks as bad weather, while the large Sugaring Operations don't use tree taps and pails, but instead run tubing for less risk. Big or small, that first taste of sweetness is heaven in your mouth.  In this game, we work together to put out the pails, gather the sap, boil it down into syrup and see how many containers of maple syrup we can make before the oh, so short Sugaring Season is done.

CONTENTS: Game board, 12" x 12", 16 Cards, 16 Pails, 1 Syrup Making Chart & an Information Booklet with Rules.
