About the game

Did you know that a male kangaroo is called a boomer? Or that the okapi is only found in Africa and can lick its own ears? In BrainBox Animals 70 beautifully-illustrated cards show interesting facts about animals from around the world, including where they live, what they eat, whether they are endangered, how large they grow and how long they live. The object of the game is to study a card for 10 seconds and then answer a question based on the roll of a die. If the question is answered correctly, the card is kept and the person with the most number of cards after 5 or 10 minutes (or the deck is completed) is the winner.
