    1. Deck

    This is where your deck goes.


    2. Prize Cards

    Each player has their own Prize cards. Prize cards are 6 cards that each player sets aside, face down, from the top of their own deck after you draw your starting hand.


    3. In Play 

    The in-play zone is shared by the players. Each player has two sections for their Pokémon.


    4. Active Spot

    The top row of the In Play section is the active spot each player starts with and must have a Pokémon in the Active Spot.


    5. Bench

    The bottom row of a player's in-play section is for the Benched Pokémon. Each player may have up to 5 Pokémon on the Bench at any one time. Any Pokémon in play other than the Active Pokémon must be put on the Bench.


    6. Discard Pile

    Each player has their own discard pile. Once a card is used or taken out of play they go to the discard pile.


    7. Hand

    The Hand is where the cards you draw go. Each player draws 7 cards at the beginning of the game.
