Hey anybody on the Fediverse got experience with the #pokemontcg ? I got the My First Battle box for my 5 year old and he loves it. We played for two hours and he wanted to play more today. He rarely does anything longer than an hour before wanting to move on.
Question I have is where I should go from there? He’s fairly good a remembering details and rules but I don’t want to start dropping a bunch of rules on him right now away. I can see the starter decks get tired after a bit though so I am wondering what’s the best slow growth path for him?
I also want to try to stave off the addiction that is opening boosters. I know it’s a feature of TCG but I also know how easy it is to fall into the hole of MORE and I’m trying to teach him consuming with purpose, not just getting stuff to have more stuff you know? So things that provide the most bang for your dollar would be best.
@grubbslinger the iPad app is pretty good, so he can get more experience. Buying a box of booster packs is much better value than buying one at a time, and a great time! The pre-made decks have difficulty ratings 1-3 on them, stick with 1s to avoid the most difficult rules. It’s like two Joeys battling Rattata rather than fighting though Battle Tower. #pokemontcg
