How to Play Pokemon Trading Card Game

Did you know Pokemon Trading Card Game? It's a collectible card game based on the Pokémon video game series, first introduced in Japan in October 1996, then North America in December 1998. It was initially published by Wizards of the Coast, the company that produces Magic: the Gathering.

The game is centered on the concept of the Pokémon battle. All Pokémon have attacks and hit points (HP); by doing damage to the opponent's Pokémon equal to its hit points, or greater than its hit points, the player can "knock out" the opponent's Pokémon, sending it to the opponent's discard pile. After, you collect one of six prize cards.

Starting the Game

Flip a coin to decide who goes first. You can use your special Pokémon coin, if you have one. Shuffle your deck and draw a starting hand of seven cards. Put the rest of your deck face down in front of you. You and your opponent each choose a Basic Pokémon card from your hands and put them face down. These will be your starting Active Pokémon. Each player may, if he or she wishes, choose up to five Basic Pokémon cards from his or her hand and put them face down on his or her Bench (this is where Pokémon wait when they're not Active Pokémon). After each player has put down his or her Basic Pokémon, put the top six cards of your deck face down in front of you. These are your Prizes, which you take when your opponent's Pokémon are Knocked Out. You can't look at a Prize card until you take it. Then show your hand to your opponent, shuffle it back into your deck, and draw seven new cards. Your opponent can then choose to draw an extra card. If you still don't have any Basic Pokémon cards in your new hand, you repeat this process, but your opponent can draw an extra card each time! Flip over all of the Active and Benched Pokémon that have been put on the table.

McDonald's Monopoly Games

The McDonald's Monopoly game is a sweepstakes advertising promotion of McDonald's and Hasbro that has been offered in the United States, Canada, Germany, United Kingdom, France, Portugal, the Netherlands and Australia. In recent years, Best Buy has been involved in the U.S. version and recently in the Canadian one as well. It has also gone by various other names including "Monopoly Best Chance Game" (2003-05, the first years of Best Buy's involvement) and "Monopoly/Millionaire Game", a version based on the Who Wants to Be a Millionaire TV show.

The game mimics the game of Monopoly. Originally, customers received a set of two tokens with every purchase, but now tokens only come with certain menu items. Tokens correspond to a property space on the Monopoly board (with the exception of the Golden Avenue/Arches Avenue properties, which were added in the 2008 edition of the game.). When combined into color-matched properties, the tokens may be redeemed for money. Historically, the grand prize ($1 million) has been the combination of the two most costly properties, Park Place and Boardwalk, but in a 2006 game the grand prize (in this case $5 million, with the traditional $1 million prize for Boardwalk/Park Place) was awarded for collecting the four railroads. There are also "instant win" tokens the recipient can redeem for McDonald's food (typically small menu items such as a free small McFlurry or medium fries), money, or other prizes, including an Xbox 360.

Additionally, in the 2007 edition, certain foods always come with one coupon which can be used at either Best Buy, Toys R Us or Foot Locker (this includes the online stores) Although it is certain to get one coupon, the value of the coupon is random, with Toys R Us coupons ranging from $1 to $5, and they allow up to $5 in coupons to be used in a single transaction, allowing up to five coupons to be used at each store visit, depending on their values. In 2008, these coupons can be redeemed for up to 25% off of all Foot Locker items with the in store coupons. In 2009, the promotion will not feature any coupons.
