AMNH Pterosaur Starter Deck
2014 – (See Cards | Deck Info | Download | Purchase)…
This deck uses images and information from the vast collections of the American Museum of Natural History in New York City, especially the 2014 special exhibition Pterosaurs: Flight in the Age of Dinosaurs. The game consists of 38 different cards, includes “extinct” organisms, and utilizes a simplified version of the game to compensate for unavailable facts.
