Critter Rescue

Wildlife is in danger and the animals are calling for help! Little critters with different problems have come into your care and need you to save them. Cure their ailments and get them ready for release. The rescuer with the happiest and healthiest animals at the end of the game wins.

Each player starts out with 6 animals with different ailments and the goal is to cure all of them. You have a hand of 5 cards, and each turn you draw one card and then play one card. You can use the cards to get ahead, get extra points, or cure one of your animals. Once a player has cured all of their animals the game ends and points are counted. Most points wins!

This is a family friendly card game where you have to balance trying to get the most points while also curing as many animals as possible before the game is over.

Critter Rescue is a card game made by me, Kellie Sellin Edland, as a project based on my time as a volunteer at a wildlife rescue. My idea was to make a game which would encourage families to learn about wildlife and a little bit about what rescue organizations do. I am also hopeful that this game will encourage people to learn more about Wildlife Inc and support them in other ways as well. I’m a big board and card game player, so I wanted to combine my two favorite things and create something that would be enjoyable and do some good in this world as well.
