What’s inside the Pokemon Old Maid Super High Tension

• 1 Pokémon Old Maid card deck in its blue Pokémon Center box
• Pokémon cards plus special effect cards
• Japanese rules, with an English manual included as shown on the box
• Recommended for ages 4 and up

How to play Pokémon Old Maid

The basic rules are the same as normal Old Maid, so children and adults can play together. The twist is that when you draw a card from the player next to you, you must shout the cry of the Pokémon on it. That includes the Old Maid card, Koffing, so everyone knows who has it! Special effect cards can then change the game, so the winner is not decided until the very end. The first Pokémon Old Maid game came out in 2019, and this Super High Tension edition had a price of ¥660 in Japan. See the official Pokémon Center Online page (Japanese).

We check every product before it is listed and pack it with care so it arrives in great condition. If you have a question before you order, our team is happy to help.

Many Japanese Pokémon products are never sold in UK shops, and buying them from Japan yourself can mean long waits, high shipping costs and import fees at the door. We import them for you, hold the stock here in the UK and price everything in pounds, so you get genuine Japanese Pokémon items quickly and with no surprise charges.
