Alternative trading card games: Xeko and Bella Sara
Parent Hacks ( Asha Dornfest) - 12/19/07
Two new trading card games attempt to go in surprisingly different
directions. (1) Xeko uses kids' fascination with trading cards to
teach them about endangered animals and ecosystems. This is hands-down
the most beautifully-designed game I've ever seen. Kids ("agents")
strategize in order to create the strongest "Xeko-systems" by playing
their cards. Along the way, they learn facts about endangered species
and the habitats in which they live. Even better, 4% of the proceeds
go to Conservation International. (2) Bella Sara cards are aimed
squarely at the demographic least likely to be found huddled around a
pile of trading cards: little girls. Each card has a code that can be
entered at the Bella Sara website, so kids can care for and feed
animated versions of their horses (and listen to plenty of new age
music). There are also games to be played, horse goodies to buy with
points, and places to explore. This game is less about trading and
direct play as it is about creating an online fantasy world, which
makes sense -- somehow getting Kelpie-Pooka to battle Rimfaxe just
doesn't feel right. The online experience is a lot of fun and very
sweet .
