This weekly social club is for teens who want to learn how to play Pokemon TCG Live, a digital version of the Pokemon trading card game. There are pre-built decks available to use. So even if your teen doesn't have a huge Pokemon card collection, they will be able to participate. Plus, every class, your student's teacher will share a special code so they can earn more cards online. If there is time, we will also have a short Pokemon card show and tell where students can show off their favorite physical cards. Course Overview: We will cover the basics of how to play, how to build a deck, and basic game strategies. During class, we will also play the Pokemon TCG Live together. Pokemon TCG Live is a free game that can be downloaded on a computer or mobile device.
