Editorial Review

This Pokémon game won't keep you bound to the TV screen. A set of 56 round Pokémon playing cards comes in a slick plastic zippered case, like a big yo-yo, that can be clipped to a belt loop or backpack. In this very Pokémon version of rummy, your object is to be the first to 100 points by making matches of the same Pokémon characters and getting runs of different stages in their evolution (Charmander, Charmeleon, Charizard, etc). As in regular rummy, each player gets seven cards, but for more excitement, the aces are wild cards and the jokers make steals. Because the cards are numbered just like traditional playing cards, you can also use this deck for other card games. --Lynne Sampson

4.0 out of 5 stars Great 52+ card game, and it's circular and it's Pokemon!, November 17, 1999

This is a great game. You get all 52 regular suits, except there are different pokemon on each one! The jokers have Ash, Misty, Brock and Team Rocket on them as well. There are instructions for playing rummy and it's even educational, too! My 3 year old is learning how to read based on these cards! It's even more of a blast listening to him pronounce the different pokemon! I highly recommend this to everyone, and the price here just can't be beat! I bought mine in a grocery store and it was at least $1 more in price!

Hi, I'm a kid and my brothers and I LOVE POKeMON Rummy! The name sounds kind of boring, but the game is great! Each player gets 7 cards and has the option of drawing (and then discarding) one card each turn. The point is to get the most points - you get 10 points if you are able to draw (or start with) a Pokemon and it's evolve, you get 20 points if you are able to come up with a set of identical Pokemon. This is one of the best POKeMON games there is out there - the games aren't too long and they're easy to get the hang of. Although this is recommended for younger kids too, I'd say the older you are the easier it is to understand - probably 9 and up, possibly 8. Little kids probably won't understand but you can pair them up with a parent. I think this game is really cool! - MSM

When I first played Pokemon Rummy, I was having a grand time. The game is basically Rummy, Pokemon style. The cards are also Pokemon style, containing a picture of different Pokemon on each card. I would not only recommend this to a colleague, but would definitely buy! An overall 5 stars.
