Using this Pokemon TCG set is super easy. First, team up with a friend. Open the two Build & Battle Boxes and you'll find a 40 - card ready - to - play deck in each. You can start the game right away with these decks. Or, if you want to make your decks stronger, open the booster packs and add the new cards. When you play, use the damage - counter dice to keep track of your Pokémon's health, and the coin - flip die for those important decisions in the game. The acrylic condition markers can help you note special conditions on your Pokémon. As for the basic Energy cards, use them to power up your Pokémon's attacks. Here are some things to keep in mind. Make sure to handle the cards gently to avoid damage. Keep the dice and markers in a safe place so you don't lose them. When it comes to maintenance, you can use a soft cloth to clean the acrylic markers if they get dirty. And to keep your cards in good shape, store them in the collector's box provided when you're not using them. Enjoy your Pokémon battles!
