Play, Trade, and Learn with trainers in the community at our Weekly Pokémon League

A Pokémon League provides a place for you to get together with fans of the Pokémon Trading Card Game. Have some fun with other Pokémon players who love collecting and playing just as much as you do. From seasoned experts who are competing to be a World Champion, to new trainers embarking on their first Pokémon journey, the weekly Pokémon League invites you to join in on the fun!

Casual play-and-trade starts at 4:30 PM, with a for-fun tournament being held from 5:30 PM to 8:30 PM. Our League sessions end at 9:30 PM, so all trainers are welcome to play a few more rounds and connect with other trainers in the community. You do NOT have to participate in the tournament to join and we have learn-to-play decks ready to teach new players!

See the organizer website for more information.
