Step into the fascinating world of fossils with Fossil Sweep—from hardened animal bones to intricate plant imprints. Fossils don’t exist forever though, see how many you can discover before they become lost. Use strategy and decision-making to match fossil layers on the cards in your hand to the card layers on the dig site. Get rid of as many cards in your hand as you can before someone plays a “Sweep” card.
Evaluation comments:
“I like that this game teaches critical thinking skills as players strategize to get rid of as many cards in their hands as possible and make other players take cards from your hand.”
“This is a winner for dinosaur/fossil fans.”
“I like that the players learn how to strategize-critical thinking skills are so important. I also like that there is an information paper (a small poster) that explains each of the pictures (from Columbian mammoths to triceratops to ammonites).”
“I would recommend this for a child who likes a challenging game with a theme.”
“This is a fun game for teachers to use in class on rainy days or as incentives.”
“This game is visually alluring. The deep, rich color scheme is inviting and draws you in.”
“I like that the cards come in a small compact box, making it easy for traveling.”
“I was impressed that a bonus pamphlet was in the game that describes the different dinosaurs/plants that are on the fossil cards. It went through the definition of fossils down to the time periods in which the prehistoric creatures/plants lived.”
