About the game

What you do in a play session

If you've played Bag of Chips and always wished it had a touch of pocket monster nostalgia, Pokémon Chips is exactly what you've been looking for. This is an incredibly snappy 'push your luck' game where you must decide which objective cards to keep and which to discard each round, all while Pokéball tokens are drawn from a bag. The dynamic is straightforward: you start with five objectives, and as new tokens are revealed, the pressure mounts and you must discard one card at a time. The thrill lies in the balance; get too greedy and you might end up with nothing, but play it too safe and you'll miss out on big points. This Pokémon edition adds a special flavor with trainer cards, which grant unique powers to each player, ensuring no two games feel exactly the same. The goal is to be the first to reach 10 points or complete a specific trophy card. It's a lighthearted game, perfect for playing with friends or family without needing hours of explanation. The art is charming, the pace is frantic, and the 'just one more round' feeling is guaranteed. If you enjoy fast-paced games with that gut-wrenching 'push your luck' tension and a theme everyone knows and loves, Pokémon Chips will definitely earn a spot on your table. It's an excellent filler to warm up before a heavier game or to end the night with some good laughs.
