Jackson Mann invents SOS Family Card Game
Jackson Mann, a 15 year old teenager from Milford on Sea has created a card game called; 'SOS Save Our Species' to engage families with endangered species and habitat loss, pledging 100% of profits to charities. Working to raise funds for the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) and other charities, Jackson aims to make a difference for wildlife.
“If people were engaged in the natural world as much as they are in poker and Pokémon, we could make a positive impact,” said Jackson Mann, creator of SOS. “I fell in love with wildlife while watching the TV show Octonauts at 5 years old. Now, I’ve invented a fun card game that the whole family can play and has the WWF’s seal of approval.”

Jackson has a Kickstarter crowd funding site with a plan to go on actual sale in July; first on Amazon and the WWF shop, then in high street shops after that (eg: WH Smiths and John Lewis).

Rachel Cox, senior new product development manager, WWF-UK said; “Everyone at WWF involved has been so impressed with Jackson’s knowledge of species and habitats. It’s inspiring to see how he’s turned his passion into action. We really hope this game shows young people the wonders of nature, with amazing pictures of different habitats from around the world and the fascinating WWF facts about different species.”
Jackson co-created SOS Global Edition with WWF experts to ensure the facts are accurate and the combination of species and habitats represents the real world. This edition even features the Lymington-Keyhaven Nature Reserve.
SOS is first launching with species from four global biomes; grassland, forest, polar and ocean. He is now working with the WWF to expand with special editions, including UK and Birds and Marine. There are also plans for expansion packs to add new biomes and advanced gameplay (with apex predators and invasive species).
About 'SOS Save Our Species' Card Game
Jackson Mann created SOS while on a wildlife exploration in Costa Rica in 2018.
'SOS' is a family card game emphasizing fun while exploring problems species face today. 'SOS' is published by Wild Dog Games; a not-for-profit games publisher, and has been co-created with the WWF. It’s perfect for those age 7+, requires 2-5 players and takes just 15 minutes to play.
SOS cards are plastic-free and manufactured from sustainable cards and ink. Each deck features real-life images of wildlife and their natural habitats.
