Imagine a world where the animal kingdom unfurls before us, not just as spectators but as participants in a lively dance of knowledge and strategy. This is the world Cardline Animals invites us into, where every card is a window into the lives of creatures great and small. This game has a colorful array of animal cards, each adorned with an illustration that captures the essence of the creature it represents, along with a measurement of size, weight or lifespan along the bottom of the card.


The true magic of Cardline Animals lies not in the beauty of its artwork, but in the challenge it poses. The task? To weave these cards into a growing timeline, placing each animal in its rightful place based on size, weight, or lifespan. This is chosen before playing. Each player takes turn placing them in the correct order for the chosen measurement. Here is an example from a recent game. We had three cards in order and then we tried to put the llama in order, but it was out of order since length is 6.2ft, 8.2ft, 8.7ft and the llama was 4.1ft.

What makes Cardline Animals the perfect companion for gatherings, especially for those of us in the vibrant dawn of our 21st year, is its uncanny ability to bridge the gap between learning and fun. It’s a game that draws us closer, not just to the wonders of the natural world but to each other, through shared moments of surprise, delight, and the occasional bewildered guess. It’s a testament to the fact that sometimes, the most profound connections are forged in the simplest of moments, over a deck of cards and a shared fascination with the world around us. This is ordered from smallest to largest.

So, to all who seek a touch of the wild, a spark of joy, and a dash of cerebral challenge in their gatherings, Cardline Animals beckons. Let it be your guide to a world where every card is a story, every guess a memory, and every game night an expedition into the heart of the animal kingdom.
