ANiMOZ - Fight for Survival is the Collectible Card Game of Australian animals. You are a Ranger, and your job is to collect species that will help you build a healthy ecosystem.

What is ANiMOZ?

ANiMOZ is the ground-breaking collectible card game helping kids from 3yo through to early teensfall in love with Australian wildlife, and teaching them about human-induced dangers. but the gameplay is fun for all ages, and the artwork and surprising facts of each species can be appreciated by all.

Each card features a different native Australian animal, from the powerful Wedge-tailed eagle to the critically endangered Mountain pygmy possum.

In the Starter Pack there are 54 animals - scratching the surface of Australia's biodiversity, but giving a grand introduction to the breadth of amazing creatures out there!

Each animal has Powers and Weaknesses (all real-life powers), and key information about the species is shown on the card. In gameplay, the card holders (Rangers) need to build a healthy ecosystem and protect their sanctuary, whilst learning about the dangers these animals face like Climate Change and Habitat Destruction.

In the Starter Pack, animals come from one of seven BiOMEs: Forest, Desert, Scrub, River, Coast, Mountain or Sky.

Help us change the conservation game: 5% of all sales goes direct to the amazing work of Aussie Ark as part of ANiMOZ Conservation!

Share with the Junior Rangers in your life!

ANiMOZ Booster Packs are additional cards to add to your ANiMOZ - Fight for Survival Starter Pack, or a quick way to become an ANiMOZ Ranger and get hold of your first species cards!

Each Booster Pack contains 10 mystery animal cards that aren't in the Starter Pack. In all, 26 new species enter the incredible World of ANiMOZ through these Boosters!

There are no double ups in a Booster Pack, but multiple Booster Packs may contain some of the same species. Can you collect the Rarest animals? Do you have enough Mountain species to select that BiOME in Gameplay?

WHY BUY BOOSTERS?

The Booster Packs make a fantastic addition to the Starter Pack, or as quick, fun gifts on their own. Rangers need the Starter Pack to play the full game, but for Junior Rangers there are hours of fun to be had with just 1 Booster Pack!

Designed to compliment your Australian Menagerie game with additional animals, habitats and more players.

Rugged mountains with fast-flowing rivers and spectacular waterfalls rise abruptly from the sandy beaches, rocky headlands and mangrove forests that form the interface between the ocean and the rainforest on Queensland's north east coast.

The mountains catch passing clouds causing heavy rain to fall for much of the year. The combination of heavy rain and high temperatures creates an ideal environment for plants to grow and the coastal slopes and lowlands are renown for their diversity of vegetation.

Among the lush forests of the Wet Tropics World Heritage Area (approx 894000 ha) between Cooktown and Townsville there are at least 483 species of plants that are considered rare or threatened. Tall trees, ferns, palms, orchids, vines, moss and fungi live together in rainforest communities. The tallest plants use their branches and leaves to reach out and catch the sunlight leaving only subdued light for the plants
growing on the forest floor.

The diversity of rainforest vegetation, in turn, supports a rich diversity of animals. The nutrient rich, damp, warm environment provides the ideal living conditions for many invertebrates, birds, reptiles, amphibians and mammals.

Animals Living In This Habitat

• Cairns Birdwing Butterfly
• Cassowary
• Crocodile
• Striped Possum

How to play with your Menagerie™ ADD-ON Habitat:

1. Place an ADD-ON Habitat next to each Australian Menagerie™ nature reserve.
2. Shuffle the ADD-ON Habitat animal cards into the deck and deal one extra card to each player for every additional ADD-ON Habitat you are using. So, if you are playing with one ADD-ON Habitat deal nine cards to each player.
3. Use the additional Management Strategy Card and Threat Card as per the standard game of Menagerie™.
4. Threats from the standard game impact on the animals in the ADD-ON Habitat. Equally the threat in your ADD-ON Habitat pack can impact on animals in all other habitats.
5. lf you have no animals in your ADD-ON Habitat at the end of a round subtract five points from your score just as you would with the other habitats.

If you have purchased an ADD-ON Habitat with your game of Menagerie™ we suggest you learn the standard game first and include the ADD-ON Habitat later.

Coral Reefs, which are the world's richest marine habitats, occur in shallow, warm waters where the sea temperature is almost always between 18 to 30 degrees centigrade. Australian coral reefs are found off the coasts of Western Australia and Queensland and grow from about the level of a low spring tide down to a depth of about 40 metres.

When we look at a reef we are, in fact, seeing a thin layer of living coral capping millions of years of accumulated limestone, that is, the accumulated shells and skeletons of sea creature. Fossil evidence suggests that coral reefs have existed on earth for about 450 million years but Queensland Great Barrier Reef is a much newer structure.

Coral Reefs are renown for their abundance and diversity of life and colour. All life forms including coral, plants, anemones, jellyfish, sponges, worms, crabs, sea slugs, giant clams, starfish, sea urchins, fish and turtles create a spectacular marine environment of constant movement and unending variety. The Great Barrier Reef supports 12 species of sea grass and 500 kinds of algae, 400 species of hard corals, 1500 species of fish, 4000 kinds of molluscs (clams, snails ), 7 species of turtle as well as being home to whales, dolphins and dugongs.

Australian Menagerie Game is a competitive card game of chance and strategy which highlights the diverse range of Australia’s wildlife and habitats. An ideal card game for the whole family.

Ages 6 to adult.

The aim of Menagerie is to collect as many animal cards as you can for each habitat of your nature reserve and to protect them from threats to their survival, eg. fire pollution, and feral animals.

You score points for each animal card you have in your nature reserve at the end of each hand. The first player or team to gain 100 points wins the game.

Australian Menagerie™ features 11 animal species. There are 4 cards of each animal. The colour of the banner on each animal card corresponds to the colour banner on the habitat to which the animal belongs. The number is used for scoring and acquiring Management Strategy Cards in Level 2 games. Threats to the survival of the animals are shown on the animal cards. Some animals have no threats in Menagerie™.

Some animal cards have 2 colours on their banner. These animals can live in either habitat. For example, the Echidna can live in both the Forest Habitat and the Semi-arid Habitat.

There are 5 Threat cards and 5 Management Strategy Cards in the pack. These are used in Level 2 games.

There are three habitats of the main game. Coastal, Forest and Semi-Arid. The featured animals are:

Australian Alps

Snow lies on Australia's highest mountains, in the south-east corner of the mainland, for about 120 days each year. The area has been subjected to millions of years of uplifts and erosion while the area around Australia's highest mountain, Mt Kosciuszko (2228 m), was further shaped by permanent ice between 25000 to 10000 years ago. The resultant landform is undulating plateaus with glacial lakes and steep-sided river valleys.

It is too cold for trees to grow in the highest parts of the alps so the vegetation consists of herb fields, grasslands and heath which produce spectacular displays of flowers each summer. The Kosciuszko alpine area is home to 21 species of plants that live nowhere else in the world. The lower slopes support forests of snow gums, mountain gums, peppermints, and alpine ash.

The large range in elevation (300m to 2228m above sea level), rainfall and temperatures means that the alps support many different plant communities and therefore animals habitats. The extreme climatic conditions mean that some plants and animals can only live in the alps.

Designed to compliment your Australian Menagerie game with additional animals, habitats and more players.

Jagged mountains, lush valleys, glacial lakes, spectacular rivers, ancient rainforests, sedgelands and hundreds of kilometres of pristine coastlines are found in western and southern Tasmania. This diversity of land forms supports a wide range of vegetation types including some remnants of past climates and 1500 years old pine trees.

When the region was nominated for world heritage listing it was described as 'the last great temperate wilderness remaining in Australia and one of the last in the world'. This expanse of wilderness and the inability of some feral animals, eg foxes to reach the island of Tasmania has provided a safe habitat for many small mammals such as the Tasmanian devil, Eastern quoll, Tasmanian pademelon, Tasmanian bettong, which, although once common on the mainland are now only found in Tasmania.

Animals Living In This Habitat

• Eastern Quoll
• Giant Freshwater Crayfish
• Orange-bellied Parrot
• Tasmanian Devil

What's that sound?

Croaks, whistles, bleats and barks - every frog species makes a different sound! By recording a frog call with the FrogID app, you can discover which frogs live around you and help us count Australia's frogs!

All around the country, people are recording frog calls with nothing more than their phones. Download the app today, available on both iOS and Android. For more information, visit https://www.frogid.net.au/

Recording and uploading these calls will map frog species across Australia and reveal where they are at risk from habitat loss, disease, climate change and urbanisation. You might even discover a new frog species!

FrogID is an Australian Museum citizen science project aimed at collecting audio of frog calls across the nation - at a moment in time - to monitor frog populations and help save Australia’s threatened frog species. Using mobile phone technology and “audio DNA” FrogID aims to discover where frogs are at risk and how to conserve them and our waterways.
