If you’ve ever played a Holiday Hijinks game from Grand Gamers Guild, then the Endangered Rescue series will seem familiar. An 18-card escape room game, but these are based on different animal endangered species from around the world. Think of this as a mashup between the Holiday Hijinks games and…
