Proudly American Made

Built by American Hands, Played Around American Tables

Not imported. Not mass-produced. Not designed by a committee in a corporate boardroom.

The Cards Wild was born around a kitchen table in Jasper, Colorado, a mountain community where elk outnumber people and the frontier spirit isn’t a marketing gimmick. It’s just life. Since 2007, the Wolcott family has been building, testing, and refining this game the old-fashioned way: around campfires, in hunting cabins, and across kitchen tables in the Colorado high country.

Every card features original artwork rendered in the tradition of 1900s frontier engravings. No stock art, no AI-generated images, no shortcuts. This is American craftsmanship applied to a card game, and it shows in every detail.

Made for the Hunting Community

The Cards Wild was built by hunters, for hunters. The game reflects the real experience of a Colorado hunting season: tracking grouse through the aspens, glassing for elk in the high country, dealing with nightfall and bad weather, keeping your license in order, and making sure you’ve got the right ammunition for the game you’re pursuing.

A rare card game built around the American hunting tradition, not as a punchline or a novelty, but as the foundation for genuinely great gameplay. The mechanics are proven (inspired by the classic Mille Bornes system that’s sold millions of copies worldwide), but the theme is 100% American backcountry.

Why “American Made” Matters to Us

This isn’t a product that was dreamed up in a focus group and shipped from overseas. The Cards Wild is a family business, the kind of small, independent American enterprise that this country was built on. When you buy a deck, you’re supporting a real family in a real mountain town, not padding the margins of a multinational corporation.

• Designed in Colorado. Every card, every rule, every detail.
• Family owned and operated. The Wolcott family, Jasper, Colorado.
• Ships from Colorado with free domestic shipping.
• Nearly 20 years of development. A family tradition since 2007.
• No corporate middlemen. Direct from our family to yours.

The Perfect Gift for Sportsmen & Outdoor Families

Looking for a gift that a hunter will actually use? Not another pair of wool socks. Not a gift card. The Cards Wild is a unique gift that gets pulled out at every hunting camp, every cabin night, every family gathering. It’s screen-free entertainment that brings people together, the way things used to be.

At $25 a deck, it’s an easy stocking stuffer that punches way above its price. The Double Pack ($45) lets you gift one and keep one. It’s the kind of gift people remember, because they’ll play it for years.

• Father’s Day. A unique gift for the dad who’d rather be in the field than at a mall.
• Birthday. For the hunter who already has everything.
• Christmas stocking stuffer. $25, fits in a stocking, and it’s not socks.
• Hunting camp send-off. The best card game for deer camp, elk camp, or any camp.
• Family game night. 2–4 players, ages 8 and up.
• Cabin & lodge housewarming. Designed for the mountain lifestyle.

Conservation & Stewardship

Hunters have always been America’s greatest conservationists. The Cards Wild reflects that tradition. The game teaches respect for wildlife management through its mechanics: bag limits, hunting licenses, species identification, and ethical pursuit. It’s a natural fit for introducing the next generation to the outdoor heritage that sustains our public lands and wild places.

What’s in the Deck

Five trophy species hunted in order (Grouse, Rabbit, Deer, Elk, Bear), each with realistic bag limits. Trouble cards that mirror real hunting challenges: nightfall, bad weather, getting lost, running out of ammunition, and license trouble. Good Fortune and Safe cards that reward preparation and strategy. And the Wild card, a Mountain Lion that lets you steal a trophy from a rival hunter. Simple enough for kids, strategic enough for adults.
