Come visit the Pokémon Play Lab booth at PAX 2023 to receive a unique Pokémon pin while supplies last!

Today, Sunday March 26, 2023 until 6PM is the last chance to visit the Pokémon Play Labs booth at PAX 2023!

Play Lab is apart of a Play!Pokémon program that was created to teach trainers how to play the Pokémon Trading Card Game (TCG) despite any level of familiarity with the game in a fun and engaging guided play experience! Designed for beginners and casual players, the Play Lab at PAX East will offer three modular experiences at no cost to event attendees — Poké Catch, Attach and Attack and 30-Card Demo Deck Battle – and participants will have a chance to receive a unique Pokémon pin while supplies last.

The three play experiences are as follows:

Poké Catch is an entry-level teaching tool designed to introduce young players to Pokémon and Energy types.
- Duration: 5-10 minutes | Play Level: Basic — recommended for young players and those who are brand-new to the Pokémon TCG

Attach and Attack requires a basic knowledge of Pokémon TCG mechanics as it introduces Basic and Evolution Pokémon, turn order and cards in the hand.
- Duration: 10-15 minutes | Play Level: Stage 1 — recommended for players who are still learning the fundamentals of the Pokémon TCG and wish to play a bit longer

30-Card Demo Deck Battle showcases a simplified Pokémon TCG experience, featuring the Umbreon V, Lucario V or Greninja V demo decks. This battle also introduces Abilities, Pokémon V and more complex game actions such as “searching the deck.”
- Duration: 20-30 minutes | Play Level: Stage 2 — recommended for players who are familiar with most Pokémon TCG mechanics and can play through battles with minimal guidance.
