My step son is getting into Pokemon. I gave in and played a game with him last night. It's actually quite good fun.

But it's a license to print money, I can tell you that. It's specifically engineered to ensure that you must buy thousands of cards in order to build a usable "deck". His dad's been doing it the hard way, and there was no way to build two proper decks out of what he had randomly collected.

I popped out to take a look, and found you can buy pre-built decks, so just bought us one each. Hopefully it'll keep him quiet for a while!

Don't worry, you aren't missing much. And it's a more expensive habit than cocaine.

$4 for 10 cards.
You need 60 cards to make a deck
There are about 10 different types of energy that pokemon need to do things.
They each need different energy to attack/retreat.

You can see that this alone means that it's going to really expensive to build even a basic deck.

After that, it'll cost more and more to make your deck better, since the better cards are more rare so appear less often.

It's business genius, and I take my hat off to the inventor.
