(More customer reviews)My daughter's classmates are all into Pokemon. She's late to the game, and wanted to get in on the whole craze. I told her the local stores were charging too much for these decks, and I was pleasantly surprised to see that Amazon offers two of these game sets for slightly more than the cost of just one at my local Wal-Mart.
What you get for this purchase is two sets that each contain a complete play deck, a mat to play the game on, little counters you can use for the gameplay (they're like icons to show that a Pokemon is poisoned or confused), and a rule book that is well written (and will take several passes to understand).
I rate this game with a high educational value because despite my dislike of "collectible" marketing to children, there's some mental development required to be good at this game. Children not only have to understand their characters' strengths and weaknesses, they have to make good logical decisions about which creature to use and when. They often make on-the-fly decisions about how to outdo each other, and they will need to know tens-based math, adding or removing "hit points" in 10-point increments. Some of the actions you have to perform require you to concentrate, e.g., "Flip a coin. If heads, remove the bottom 7 cards from your opponent's stack. Take any one of those seven, add it to your hand, return the others to opponent's deck, and reshuffle."
If your child needs to get into the Pokemon craze, this is a great way to get started: the little slim packs don't contain all the pieces that you need to play (nor the instructions) and this made us both able to play with her booster-pack cards.
