ABOUT
The National Parks Camping Deck comes with instructions and prompts for fifty fun games and activities to play outdoors—whether that’s in your backyard, at your favorite park, or at a campground. Inside you’ll find quick-to-play and engaging activities for two or more players of all ages. Just gather your group, pull a card, and follow the instructions. Along the way, you’ll have fun, connect with the outdoors, and learn a little about our national parks.
- Get crafty and Create a Mandala or Make a Fairy Garden with rocks, flowers, and other pieces of nature
- Wish Upon a Spark by writing down a wish or intention for the year. Close your eyes, take a deep breath, think about what you wrote, visualize it happening, exhale. Burn the piece of paper in a campfire.
- Compete in a friendly Nature Scavenger Hunt or Alphabet Nature Bingo.
- Spend time around the campfire with conversation starters such as High Low Buffalo and games such as Flashlight Charades
With easy-to-follow instructions for daytime and nighttime games and activities that require just a few materials (and often none at all!), The National Parks Camping Deck will help families and friends enjoy the magic of the outdoors together while learning more about America's public lands.
STANDARD, PRIMARY, DM AND VARIANT COVERS
Standard and Primary covers are widely available through general retailers. They often have higher print runs and can be cheaper, especially during sales.
In contrast, Direct Market (DM) and variant covers are primarily sold in comic shops. DM editions tend to have more limited availability and may be more valuable to collectors.
The main differences lie in artwork style, availability, price, and collector appeal. Ultimately, the choice between standard and variant covers depends on personal preference, budget, and individual collecting goals.
