If you’re looking to combine learning, leisure, and the beauty of nature, Top Trees playing cards offer a thoughtful and engaging experience for all ages. Published by Kaddo, an imprint of The Quarto Group, this unique deck of illustrated playing cards celebrates some of the world’s most extraordinary trees.

Designed by Minneapolis-based illustrator Kelsey Oseid, Top Trees functions both as a standard deck of playing cards and as a standalone game. In the custom game, players compete using tree-themed cards ranked in three fascinating categories: height, age, and trunk size. The objective is simple—play the highest value and collect the cards to win.

The deck features 54 beautifully illustrated cards, each highlighting an awe-inspiring tree. Among them are remarkable specimens, such as Hyperion, Sequoia sempervirens, the tallest known tree in the world and Methuselah, Pinus longaeva, one of the oldest living organisms on Earth. These real-life botanical giants bring a sense of wonder and discovery to every round.

Included in the gift box is an informative booklet that offers tree trivia, identification tips, and game instructions, making this an ideal gift for nature enthusiasts, families, educators, and anyone interested in the natural world. With a recommended age range of 8 to 99, Top Trees is designed to be accessible, educational, and fun.

Whether used as a learning tool, a conversation starter, or simply an elegant addition to your game shelf, Top Trees is a meaningful alternative to traditional card games. Beautifully designed and rich in content, it invites players to appreciate the grandeur of the natural world, one card at a time.
