A Pokémon card in four corners

Mechanics only after the basics

Hook

Name, type, HP, attack text — enough to look together without becoming a judge.

The bit

Hold a card and find four anchors: the name, the type, the HP, and what the attack text claims it can do. That’s a kitchen-table decode. Nobody’s checking tournament legality during dessert.

Why kids light up

Teaching you makes them the expert. Instant status upgrade. Tiny professor energy.

Tonight spark

Try this tonight

Pull one card. They teach the four corners. You take notes dramatically.
