Pokémon Babanuki Old Maid Set - Japanese

Product detailed description

Pokémon Babanuki is an entertaining card game based on the classic Old Maid game, now in an official Pokémon design. This Japanese edition combines simple rules with dynamic gameplay and special action effects that make every round different.

The game is designed for 2–8 players. First, shuffle the deck and deal all cards evenly among the players. Each player removes any matching pairs from their hand. Players then take turns clockwise drawing one card from the player on their left. If the drawn card forms a pair, it is immediately discarded. The goal is to get rid of all your cards.

The special “baba” card is Gengar. The player who is left holding Gengar as their final card loses the game.

This Pokémon edition introduces unique gameplay elements. When drawing a card, the player must imitate the Pokémon’s voice, potentially revealing clues about who holds the “baba” card. The set also includes special action cards with instructions that add extra excitement, such as drawing an additional card from the left player or giving two cards to the right player. These mechanics make the game more interactive and unpredictable.

All cards are printed in Japanese, but the set includes English instructions, making it accessible to international players.

This product is perfect both as a party game and as a collectible Japanese Pokémon item.
