Interested in the Pokemon Trading Card Game, but don’t know how to play? Join us in playing through your first Pokemon card game using the Battle Academy board game, generously provided by the Friends of the North Kohala Library. Learn about the different card types available to play during your turn, what you need to do to win, and what comes next in the hobby after your first games.

Already know how to play? Bring your deck and challenge other experienced players, or come talk about deck building and card collecting.
