Questions? We've got answers.

Everything about the cards, the game, your order and our work with WWF.

The cards

How are the print runs decided?

Every 1st Edition holo is printed in the same number as that animal's estimated population in the wild, up to 30,000. There are only around 1,000 Mountain Gorillas left, so we will only ever print 1,000 1st Edition holo Mountain Gorillas.

Full Art cards are printed at 10% of the wild population. The Toco Toucan has an estimated 10,000 in the wild, so its Full Art print run is 1,000.

What does the Special Edition print run look like?

We like full transparency, so here are the Special Edition numbers:

  • 10 million cards in total
  • 700K holos
  • 980K Rares
  • 980K Extended Arts
  • 20,000 Booster Boxes, 20,000 Starter Boxes and 20,000 Mini Boxes
What's the difference between 1st Edition and Special Edition?

Every set comes in two versions. 1st Edition is limited to 5,000 of each box. Special Edition is limited to 20,000 of each box. We will never print an unlimited set, and with over a million known animal species there will always be more to collect.

What are 1-of-1 cards?

Some holo chase cards exist only once in the world, like the seven Special Edition continent cards. Our homepage tracker shows which ones have been found and which are still out there, waiting in a box.

Where can I see every card?

Browse every set on our cards pages. You can tick the cards you own to track your collection.

Can LIFE cards be graded?

Yes. LIFE cards are graded and authenticated by PSA, CGC, Beckett, ACE and TAG.

Playing the game

How do I play?

Our main game is Continental Balance: 2–4 players, ages 14+, 10 to 40+ minutes. Players place animals on shared continents and try not to make them collapse. Learn the rules.

What do I need to start playing?

A Starter Box has 10 packs and 100 cards, which is more than enough for a Quick game with friends. You'll also need the continent cards (or slips of paper) and the scorecard from the rule book.

Orders & shipping

How long does delivery take?

LIFE TCG products are shipped worldwide by Zatu Games (UK), InDiPro Games (USA), 4X Trading (Italy) and BoardGameBliss (Canada). Estimated delivery time is under 2 weeks.

Why do some boxes say WWF?

WWF & charity

How much of my order goes to WWF?

We donate £1 for every Booster Box, 50p for every Starter Box and 25p for every Mini Box sold to WWF-UK, with a minimum of £30,000 by October 2027. See the live total.

Retail & business

Yes. If you're a local game store, any other shop or an online platform that would like to stock LIFE TCG, email us at contact@lifetcg.com.

Who do I contact about marketing or partnerships?

What's next for LIFE?

This is just the beginning. We see LIFE as much more than a card game. The limited edition side of the brand will always be at its core. More merchandise is on the way, and longer term we'd love to build a digital companion app or game, and much more.
