Survival of The Fittest

Do you have what it takes to survive?

Survival of the fittest is a card game centered around quick wits and random chance. You are playing as a creature trying to survive despite the ever-changing environment it lives in. Choose adaptations you think will help you best survive, compete against other players, and hope that you live long enough to reproduce.

Included Modalities

Modality OnE:

Visuals

The character, environment, and adaptation cards contain visuals to help with visualizing the environment being created. In addition, the visuals on the adaptation cards are meant to help with decoding the meaning of the cards.

Modality Two:

Speech/Oral

During the game, players are asked to read cards aloud, answer riddles, and communicate to play mini games when selecting the natural selection cards to win egg tokens.

Modality Three:

Spatial, Gestures, and Tactile

In the game, you use Spatial, Gestural, and Tactile modalities. Some of the natural selection cards require players to engage in mini-games like rock, paper, scissors; a race to touch the ground before your opponent; and dice rolling to fight disease.

In addition, the beginning of the game instructions require students to roll dice to determine play order and adaptation card order.

During game play players are collecting and trading egg tokens which is another form of tactile modality.
