How to play pokemon

Beyond the basics of this game which has 60 cards, balanced between energy cards, trainers and pokemon, the aim of the game is to win in one of the 3 ways:

  1. Obtain all 6 prizes which involves 'fainting' 6 of your opponent's pokemon
  2. Cause your opponent to deck out (meaning to cause him to run out of cards to draw)
  3. 'Fainting' your opponent's active pokemon when he has no benched pokemon

With every preconstructed deck, comes a set of rules and instructions on how to play. Since you're online, however, take a trip to: http://www.wizards.com/pokemon/index.asp?x=,,&y=learn
