Mission: Indonesia is the newest
addition of Xeko, the award-winning trading card game that teaches kids about
endangered species and the world's conversation "hotspots."
This wild, adventurous collectible card
game combines exotic animals from both land and sea from a group of islands in
the South Pacific. Using stunningly beautiful cards starring endangered species
like the Asiatic elephant and the Sumatran flying squirrel, children match wits
in exciting situations that mimic real-life dramas in nature.
Invented by Amy Tucker as a way to bring
awareness to the planet's most endangered habitats and help stem global warming,
4% of Xeko net sales are donated to
Conservation International (CI) a non-profit organization whose
work inspired the game. Xeko celebrates the diversity of life on Earth and
helps connect kids with nature. Each collection of the Xeko game features one
of the planet's most species-rich places - known as biodiversity hotspots - and
raises the level of awareness abut each hotspot's plight. Xeko seeks to enlist
the next generation of eco-leaders - "Xeko Masters" in game parlance - and
inspire them to use their imaginations, inherent fascination with wildlife, and
creativity to protect these and other biological treasures.
Xeko stimulates kids' interest in math,
science, and nature by combining two things they love: trading card games and
animals. Like the blockbusters Pokemon and Yu-Gi-Oh, Xeko involves collecting
trading cards to create a custom library - or in this case, "Xeko-system" - and
using the cards to match wits against opponents in exciting game play. Instead
of monsters and fantasy, Xeko takes cues from nature and science, casting actual
animal species as the heroes and basing game play on ecosystem relationships.

Choice Foundation Recommendation. The second Xeko game collection, Mission
