• Make a 30 card minimum deck using only the cards from your deck and any basic energy cards you want (we will supply these)

• We will also give you a basic Pokémon associated with your energy type.  You always start with that Pokémon on your bench.

• You get 1 friendly mulligan (if you have no basic Pokemon in your starting hand, reveal your hand, reshuffle and draw a new hand.  Your opponent does not draw an extra card for this first mulligan.

• You will be given control of a certain number of hexes on our game map that match your energy type.

• When you challenge someone you are playing for control of a hex of their color.  If you win you claim a hex from them, unless they only have their 3 starting hexes, in which case you will claim an uncontrolled hex of that color.

• Winning a match earns you 2 Pokémon coins.

• Losing a match earns you 1 Pokémon coin.

• If you control more hexes of an energy type than any other player you are that energy type’s Gym Leader.
  A gym Leader gets to add that energy type’s Basic Pokémon to his bench whenever they are defending a hex of that energy type, in addition to their own energy type’s Basic Pokémon.

• Play best of 1 with 4 prize cards

• You can purchase a pack of any set we sell to add to your card pool after every 5 losses.

• You can visit the Pokémon Shoppe (see Candi) and purchase single Pokémon cards to add to your pool, by spending your Pokémon coins (you do not spend actual $ for these purchases).  The Pokémon shoppe will include non-Standard cards and will replenish weekly so shop early to get the best choices.

• If you do not play for 10 days you lose control of a territory that you have claimed (not a starting territory)

• If you do not face at least 3 unique opponents in a week you will lose control of 1 non-starting hex per unique player not faced.
