Card Gallery
Every card represents a real organism, place, event, or piece of history on Earth.
All cards are built using real photography that is either public-domain or commercially usable.
As the project evolves, new regions, ecosystems, and cultures from around the world will continue expanding the archive.
You too can be part of the EARTH Trading Card Game.If you have an interesting photo or a card idea,
just let us know.
Our Vision
To build a global archive of life on Earth through playable cards.To encourage curiosity about biodiversity and conservation by using real photography.And to highlight the idea that the real world is already extraordinary.Future goals include:1) Developing educational and conservation partnerships.2) Improving gameplay depth.3) Collaborating with photographers and artists.4) Expanding into multiple countries.5) And creating a playable multi-layered ecosystem.Every species, landscape, and culture represented in EARTH exists - or once existed - somewhere on this planet we call home.Perhaps by holding the world in the palm of our hands we may remember that life is much more than a game.
It's one thing being amazed at a gryffon, which doesn't exist; but quite another being amazed at a giraffe, which exists, yet looks as if it doesn't.
