Wild Instincts evolved from a father-son project into a family mission to create meaningful experiences that bring family and friends together.
A special thanks to our family, friends, classmates, teammates and fellow Cub Scouts who spent countless hours helping bring Wild Instincts to life!
Every illustration is based on our original wildlife and landscape photographs. We used AI-assisted creative tools to transform these into a vibrant, storybook-inspired style that preserves the personality, colors and details of the original pictures throughout the game.
We designed and hand painted the Norwegian rosemaling on the boxes and back of each card. Rosemaling honors the legacy of our family.
Rigorously play-tested by our
amazing community
