Race to the Ark is a dynamic board game designed for 24 players aged 5 and up, where participants collect animal pairs and navigate toward the ark before the impending flood. The game features a double-sided board and three tiers of rules that evolve with the player’s age and skill level. Initially, it employs a simple roll-and-move mechanic suitable for young children. As players mature, the game introduces push-your-luck elements and set collection strategies, enhancing decision-making and risk assessment skills. Educationally, it fosters cognitive development by teaching pattern recognition, strategic planning, and adaptability, all within an engaging, colorful, and family-friendly setting.
