ÁMBAR, the monarch butterfly

If you came here using the code on your card, you already have this Guardian at home: this is its page. Here are its cards, its story and the door to the game.

The path is handed down. So is the story.

A line from the deck.

This Guardian's world now goes with you: the next door you open will remember who you chose.

Three cards from the deck

How much do you know about this Guardian's world?

An encounter from the deck

Every year her grandmother tells her the same, pointing at the forest: “When the sky turns orange, those are the ones that came back.” This year it's the girl who tells it to her little brother. That's how they tell it in her family.

Two challenges for this week

With the help of a guide or a photo, how would you recognize a plant where a monarch caterpillar could feed? Look at the leaves and the sap.
In a garden or yard, what flowering weed could you let grow in a corner, without filling everything with weeds?

The story

Those Who Return

With her grandmother, Erandi places a candle for each name and asks if those who are gone really come back. That autumn, the sky over Michoacán fills with orange wings that crossed a continent.
