An island's future is in your hands.

SINCE ANCIENT TIMES, a secret order called Xeko has protected the planet from those who would do it harm. This special box, disguised as a coffee crate, holds your next mission. Join the Xeko Masters to protect Earth's largest group of islands and meet amazing animals found nowhere else...Are you ready?

The Xeko game is a 2-player trading card game based on the principles of "organic entertainment" — entertainment that's of the highest quality, good for people, and good for the planet. It's also a real brain builder so be warned: People who play the game may experience advanced intelligence, increased memory, and a severe interest in animals, ecology, and world adventure.

The game is based on the myth of Xeko (a secret ecological knowledge order) and real-world conservation hotspots.

Players collect and trade Xeco cards to create personalized decks and compete with friends to build the strongest Xeko-system. Game play is additive, combining both competition and cooperation. Good sportsmanship is a key Xeko trait and players always get their respective cards back at the end of a match. No game board is required.

Xeko is outrageously fun and stimulates kid's interest in math, science and nature by combining two things kids love: animals and trading cards. Xeko involves collecting and trading Xeco 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.

Each Xeco card collection is based on one of the earth’s “hotspots,” beginning with the fantastic but critically endangered habitats of Madagascar (limited editiion), Costa Rica, and now Indonesia.

Madagascar features the wild and often bizarre animals of this remote African island, and cards include facts about the species in addition to eye-popping illustrations. Costa Rica is likewise basesd on animals indigenous to that ecosystem: bottlenose dolphins, jaugars, and colorful toucans. NEW Mission Indonesia contains some of the coolest creatures on Earth, including the Pygmy Seahorse and Sumatran Orangutan.

All of the animals and plants in the game are real, and kids play by linking their species cards together, having turf wars, playing their Xeko (wild) cards and competing to build the strongest ecosystem. The one with the most eco-points wins!

The number and types of Xeco cards available correlate to species' real world populations. The more endangered the animal the harder the card is to find. Eye-poppinig artwork makes the cards especially fun to play with and collect.

While the game is first and foremost entertaining, parents feel good with their kids spending hours learning about diverse species and unique culture.
