GAME RULES FOR EDUCATORS
GAME RULES- STUDENT EDITION

BECOME A CA NATIVES MASTER
These rules will help guide you through the CA NATIVES TRADING CARD world. The cards that you carry are a token of the deep knowledge you have of our CA NATIVE PLANTS AND ANIMALS. This means that you are carrying a symbol of your knowledge, and as it happens to be, knowledge that is not used is lost. And so is your card. TO BECOME A MASTER, you must stay on top of your knowledge so that no other card player can steal your cards from you. Good luck to you. For best results, use your observation skills as much as possible.

1. THE CARDS

Approximately 8 CA NATIVE CARDS are released every month until 50 are released. There are currently 32 cards out there with a few rare cards. Your objective is to collect all of them. Check the list to see what you have and what you are missing. When you see another friend or person with a trading card pin, you will know they are traders and you can challenge them to a round. If you do not currently own a card, you can start learning about that plant or animal so that when a challenge round comes around, you will be in a better position to steal their card.

2. THE GAME

1. Challenge as many trading card holders at a time to a round of KNOWLEDGE CHALLENGE.
2. One person in the group must not play one round and only act as the moderator. Moderators can switch off each round.
  • The moderators job is to shuffle the cards and redistribute them to the group so that the cardholder does not end up with their own card.
  • The moderator must ensure that not all cardholders duplicate cards that are offered into the center of the pile.
  • The moderator shuffles the cards and then hands them out randomly to the group and also decides who will ask the question first. 
  • The chosen person finds out whose card they are holding, looks at the backside of the card, and asks a question off the back of the card regarding the plant or animal. It is not permissible to ask Latin Names, unless you are in a tie between 2 cardholders seeking to claim the public domain card. More about that later.
  • If the original card owner knows the answer, they get to take their card back and their card is safe and sound. The question goes to the next person.

IF THE ORIGINAL CARD OWNER DOES NOT KNOW THE ANSWER, the card goes back to the moderator to hold onto for PUBLIC DOMAIN ROUND.
  • After all players have been asked a question regarding their card, the incorrect answer cards are now up for grabs in PUBLIC DOMAIN ROUND.

PUBLIC DOMAIN ROUND

Public Domain Round is moderated by the Moderator. The Moderator asks a question to the group regarding a fact from one of the cards that was forfeited due to lack of knowledge. Players MUST BE EXTREMELY CAREFUL in not just raising their hand too quickly or shouting out answers. IF they say an incorrect answer, they can lose another one of their cards. Players MUST ONLY ANSWER if they VERY DEEPLY AND THOROUGHLY know the answer.
If it is answered correctly, then the player who knew the answer gets to steal the card. If it is not answered correctly, the player who answered the question needs to give up another one of their cards.

LAVA ROUND

  • If 2 rounds have gone through successfully without any players losing their cards, then it goes into LAVA ROUND.
  • LAVA ROUND is played the exact same way as the first 2 rounds, except there is a minor twist. ONLY OFFICIAL CARD DISTRIBUTORS SUCH AS EDUCATORS can moderate this round. The Educator asks all the questions and if the player gets it right, then not only do they get their card back but they get to request any card they want from the Educator's stock pile of cards. They must know at least 1 fact about the animal or plant they are requesting to get the card. They can even request a POISON CARD.

HAPPY PLAYING! and MAY THE QUEST FOR KNOWLEDGE THRIVE.
