Floracide is an educational game aimed towards children ages 5-12 that are active in camping, hiking, and other outdoor activities where they might encounter poisonous plants. Inspired by vintage scout patches, each pair is made by matching a common poisonous plant with its most prominent symptom. Cards can also be matched by color to further simplify and reinforce the concept for younger children. Bringing awareness and teaching children to recognize both the plants and the immediate symptoms leads to quicker treatment and prevents future illness.
