Animal Packs is a reimagined 52-card animal card deck where every card features an animal numbered 1 to 5. It was created for kids, families, animal lovers, card players, and anyone who wants a deck for original games, classic card games, and learning through play.

You can play original Animal Packs games like Dig and Howl, or fresh takes on classics like Go Fish, Old Maid, War, and Rummy.

The first deck is set in the Woodlands, inspired by the animals around our home in Pound Ridge, New York.

I created Animal Packs as a family card game that is easy to learn, flexible to play, and fun to bring anywhere. With 15 nieces and nephews across the Northeast, I had game testers of all ages to help shape the Animal Packs cards and games.

I hope your family has as much fun playing Animal Packs as ours does. Send us a note with a story from game night, a favorite animal card, or an idea for a new Animal Packs game.
