    For boardgames players and Pokemon fans this is an excellent initial game for the Pokemon Trading Card Game. It has three complete decks and what I love the most was the hard play board to put your cards while playing. Usually when you buy instead ofemon decks, they come with a poster play board instead to this one.

    Ages 6 and 9 years old, the kids had no interest in this game quickly after opening it. There was too much to read and they were absolutely not interested. They love Pokémon, they did not like this game.

    Purchased a couple other Pokemon TCG Trainer kits for $50 each hoping my kids and I can learn and see what all the hubbub was about. Those kids didn't provide enough trainer cards and certain energy cards so it was tough to create balanced decks especially since I have zero experience prior. Also, it was annoying to get some special Vmax or Stage 2 cards that we can't even use because we did not get the basic cards to evolve from. Decided to buy this Battle Academy box and discovered this is what I should've bought in the first place. It provides a step-by-step guide of how to play along with a decent quality boardgame-like play surface for placing cards. If you're just learning to play and want already-created balanced decks, this is for you. However, if you're a collector looking to get rare cards, this is not for you as every card in the 3 decks are the same for every box. I believe this is the 2022 version so I'm going to buy the older one for $20 as well assuming the kids stay into it.

    Great introduction to Pokemon TCG. The decks have a preset order and instructions to learn the first 6 or so turns in a game. You learn how to play energy, pokemon, use trainer cards and attack. The text on the cards can be a bit small so it can be challenging to point out certain things to a 6 year old, but they will learn as we play more. I haven't played the game in 23 years and it was easy for me to learn again.

    My kid recently got into Pokemon cards and we got this as a starter pack. It does teach you the bascis, but I believe more detail should be included. I think you can use these cards without a board as well, but I'm not sure. So far, he liked it.

    My kids didn't know how to play with the actual cards, so this is essential in showing how to actually play the game. The three decks are good examples of how to build a successful deck to give them an idea. If you or your kids don't know how to play, then this is a great one to pick up.
