Forget Pikachu and the multitude of whatever new Pokemon there are now.  Phylo: TCG brings you Phelsuma madagascariensis grandis and Bassariscus astutus!

For those of you who have no idea what I’m talking about, you may want to check out the website for Phylo: The Trading Card Game. Phylo is a TCG being created to feel like Pokemon, but use creatures from the real world. The cool part?  The project is open source, meaning the community can contribute to the game.

Right now there’s no clear cut rules, but the project hopes to have a ruleset up by May or June of this year.

Everything that’s already up on the site is free to download, modify, and use.

So what are you waiting for? Pygoscelis adeliae waits for no man!
