> A CPR, AED & First Aid Learning Card Game — PENDING — since 2026

## What It Is

Cards Give is a Cards Wild-powered learning game that reinforces CPR, AED, and First Aid readiness concepts through a fast, family-friendly card game format. Players collect care skills in order while overcoming realistic response obstacles such as unsafe scenes, missing supplies, and uncertainty about what to do next. This game is designed as a supplemental learning and practice tool, not a certification course or substitute for instructor-led training. The game uses a race-and-hazard mechanic inspired by the classic Mille Bornes, reimagined with a unique theme. Cardsgive is built on the Cards Wild engine.

## Cards Wild Engine — Licensable Game Platform

Cardsgive is built on the **Cards Wild engine**, a licensable game platform created by the Wolcott family in Colorado. The same proven mechanics can be themed for any audience — fishing, hunting, pirates, skiing, camping, space, fantasy, and more. Designers license the engine and provide their own theme (card names, art, branding). Everything else — game logic, AI opponents, simulation tools, website kit, print templates — comes with the license.

### Live Games in the Ecosystem

Games built on this engine use the `*swild.com` naming pattern. Each game is a different theme on the same proven engine.
