Get a Pokémon TCG: Mega Evolution—Perfect Order Build & Battle Box Early

Enjoy quick games and quick pulls with a box that includes a 40‑card deck and four booster packs.

The latest Pokémon Trading Card Game expansion, Mega Evolution—Perfect Order, arrives March 27, 2026, but you can visit KD GAMES to play with it early! Starting March 14, we will begin selling the Mega Evolution—Perfect Order Build & Battle Box, giving Trainers a chance to have a Prerelease battle and experience the latest expansion before its official release date. 

To book a place at one of our Prerelease events, be sure to use the our Events Page on our Website.

In the Prerelease format, players compete using a 40-card deck with four Prize cards set aside at the start of play, as opposed to a 60-card deck with six Prize cards. 

Prerelease is perfect for introducing new Trainers to the exciting world of the Pokémon TCG with quick, fun games, and it gives seasoned Trainers a window into everything Mega Evolution—Perfect Order has to offer. 

Due to the limited card pool and the variance of cards that can be acquired in a Build & Battle Box, Prerelease events are a great opportunity to flex your creative deck-building muscles.

Each Build & Battle Box includes four Mega Evolution—Perfect Order booster packs and a 40-card, ready-to-play deck featuring key cards from current and prior expansions, as well as one of four unique foil promo cards. Depending on which promo card you get, you could be playing with the royal Serperior, the handy hero Barbaracle, the tyrannical Tyrantrum, or the sword-flashing Doublade.

The intimidating, yet majestic Lord of the Forest’s Regal Command attack rewards Trainers who keep a full Bench by doing 20 damage for each of your Pokémon in play. While that may be difficult to attain in the early game, Serperior rewards patience—and has direct synergy with Rosa’s Encouragement. With this Supporter card in your discard pile, damage done by Solar Coiling is boosted to 250 total—which spells devastation for many of your opponents in a Prerelease match.

Keep an eye out for the Forest of Vitality Stadium card, which will help put Serperior into play much faster. Plus, Shaymin can use its Send Flowers attack to find Growing Energy, which you can attach to Serperior to boost its HP by 20. Since Serperior has a lot of late-game utility, a little extra HP will surely be helpful.

We’ve got to hand it to Barbaracle (though arguably it has plenty of those already)—it’s got a rock-solid Ability in Stone Arms to accelerate Energy from your hand to one of your Pokémon. This makes Barbaracle an integral part of a Mega Zygarde ex deck, since its comparatively high-cost attacks can use all the Energy acceleration they can get.

Rocky Energy is a Fighting-type Pokémon’s best friend—it protects the Pokémon it’s attached to from any effects of the opponent’s attacks. This will keep Barbaracle armed against effects like Klefki’s Memory Lock. Landorus is an addition that opens up some flexibility in your Energy attachment, since its Screw Knuckle attack allows you to put an Energy attached to it back into your hand.

Another Pokémon that benefits greatly from Rocky Energy is Tyrantrum. Its Tyrannically Gutsy Ability boosts Tyrantrum’s HP from 180 to 330 if it has a Special Energy attached, which makes it a single-Prize tank worthy of a king’s crown.

To get Tyrantrum to its throne on the battlefield, you need to get Antique Jaw Fossil into play first, so deck-searching Supporter cards like Team Rocket’s Petrel and Drayton are critical inclusions. Tyrantrum’s Wreak Havoc attack allows you to flip a coin until you get tails, discarding the top card of your opponent’s deck for each heads. Enhanced Hammer amps up the chaos by discarding a Special Energy attached to one of your opponent’s Pokémon, disrupting opportunities for counterplay.

In the Prerelease format, there’s no limit to the number of copies of a Pokémon you can have in your deck—so you could include six, maybe seven copies of Honedge, Doublade, or Aegislash to maximize your damage output when Doublade attacks with Weaponized Swords.

To help in your endeavor to lay down massive damage, you could use Full Metal Lab from the Scarlet & Violet—Temporal Forces expansion, which will soften the blow of incoming attacks (handy considering Doublade’s fairly low HP). With Ignition Energy from the Scarlet & Violet—White Flare expansion on your side, you can help Doublade get an attack going without any prior Energy attachment needed.

TNT - Kill Team Week 1 Summary

Last week our Tuesday Night Tournament moved into the first week of Kill Team League. In this first week of the league we had 10 players with a variety of different teams. Everyone played the second Crit Op which was Loot.

Another Day in Paradice

On Sunday last week it was another day in Paradice, which was the fourth year for Worthing's Board Game Convention and a first for us. It was a great weekend and we will definitely be returning next year. The Sunday was a slightly quieter than the Saturday which presented us with a chance to have a chat with some of the independent games companies that were at the event. 

There were some really great small games and although we will be ordering from some new suppliers in the coming weeks, we were luck enough to be able to pick up 5 new titles on the day.

These great games are all now available from KD Games and are all priced at £25 or less (except for the deluxe version of one of them)

First up we have Divide and Conker,

Ready your conkers for a great battle. Divide & Conker is a 2 to 4 player game. Set up varies dependent on player count. Game play usually lasts 30 minutes and is suitable from age 8 upwards.

Gameplay takes place over 2 rounds with a total of 7 battles. At the end of 7 battles, each player counts their victory points from cards in play. The player with the most victory points is the winner.

Within a round there are 3 phases; draft, prepare army, battle. In phase 1, players take it in turns drafting cards either from a pyramid or snake draft. Once all cards have drafted move to phase 2. Players can now prepare their army by laying down their collected conkers, applying hardener cards and attaching strings. Once each players army is prepared, play then continues to phase 3. During phase 3 players battle each other by declaring attacking and defending conkers. Player roll the dice and play trick cards during a battle until one conker is defeated. The second battle within round 1 can then commence.

When round 1 is over, move to round 2 where these 3 phases are played out but with a total of 5 battles in the final phase instead of 2. If no more battles can be played, the game ends and victory points are counted.

Next, we have Sakana Stack,

Sakana Stack is a climbing/shedding card game in which players play stacks of seafood from their hand with the aim of having the most valuable stack in play.

Stacks can be played of matching numbers, but they must match the last played card by suit or number. Players score the top card from their stack if the next player passes, so the bigger the stack, the higher the scoring opportunity. Play continues until a player sheds all cards in their hand, or the draw pile runs out twice and all cards scored are counted and recorded. Play a number of rounds equal to the number of players to determine the most successful market vendor.

Then there is Steery,

STEERY is the party game of stories that will never be told again.

Drop ludicrous plot twists, spark seemingly impossible conflicts, and hijack the narrative with your cards to score points. No tale is too weird, and no ending too unhinged.

In STEERY, you score points by steering the story of one or more characters, using the story cards that you have in hand. To amplify the element of surprise, the game also includes special cards hidden in the main deck to prompt you to introduce new characters into the story or to straight out end it when you least expect it.

Learn it in 5 minutes. Bond with your people over unpredictable stories. Unleash your creativity and wit.

STEERY contains character cards and story cards (with point values). The first player starts the story by revealing a character card, introducing the character in the story, and playing story cards from their hand to get the ball rolling. From then on, players take turns in moving that same story forward by playing their story card(s), incorporating the concept of the card(s) they're playing in the story, and scoring points along the way. The game ends when "The End" card is drawn and announced.

STEERY is balanced between strategic and casual gameplay and the sweet spot between collaboration and competition. The game has also been designed to be family friendly, but it can easily take a NSFW turn if players wish to go that way.

Bad Trevor is the penultimate game (and the one I saw people loving demonstrations of all weekend as I was opposite it)

A competitive card game set in a world of crazy superheroes and dastardly supervillains. At the start of each game, all 52 cards are shuffled and dealt out evenly between the players - these will be a mixture of 'Hero' 'Villain' and 'Civilian' cards. There are also two wild cards - Bad Trevor (the ultimate villain) and his arch nemesis Kamikaze Kevin.

Whoever is dealt Kamikaze Kevin places him face-up in the middle of the table - play starts with this person in a clockwise direction. The aim of the game is to get rid of all the cards in your hand before your opponents do. On their go, a player lays down an 'attack hand' against the next opponent. This is three cards chosen from their hand that are laid face down in front of them. The opponent must then draw one at random.

If a player draws a Villain card, this will screw them over in some way. If they draw a Hero card this will help them. In both instances, they must read the card out loud, place it on the discard pile and then carry out that instruction. If a player draws a civilian card, this can be discarded providing they have a matching civilian card in their hand. If they do have a pair, both can be placed on the discard pile. The player can then chose to carry on as normal by playing an attack hand against the next opponent in line. They can chose to reverse the order of play. Or they can demand a certain civilian from another player by pointing at them and asking for it by name. However, if they ask someone who doesn't have that card, their go is over and play moves to the next person.

If a player draws Bad Trevor from an opponent's attack hand, they must also pick up all the remaining cards from their attack hand as well - adding them to their own. Bad Trevor is the only card in the deck that can never be discarded, so as play continues and more and more cards are placed on the discard pile, the last person left holding Bad Trevor is crowned the loser of the game.

At any point in the game, is someone suspects that a certain card in a player's attack hand is Bad Trevor they can pick up Kamikaze Kevin, slam him on top of that card and say "Take That Bad Trevor!" If that person turns out to be correct, they can immediately leave the game and hand all their remaining cards to their opponent. However, if they guessed incorrectly, their opponent can leave the game instead and hand all their cards to their accuser. Kamikaze Kevin can only be used once in the entire game, after which he must be placed on the discard pile.

Finally we have Muster,

Step into the enchanting world of Muster, where players Raise the Banners and seize control of five majestic castles. Strategic planning and bold tactics will determine who emerges victorious in this fast-paced, two-player duel! Assemble a fearsome force drawn from five unique factions, represented by loyal soldiers, agile archers, valiant knights, fierce beasts, and legendary leaders. Unleash the magical power of Rainbow Cards to tip the scales - but beware! Rainbow Wizards are fickle friends whose loyalties can falter when you need them most

We will have demo copies of all of these games in our games library for you to borrow or play in store as well as have them available to buy. 

I will post up more details for the other games that we have coming once they arrive, so watch this space.

In Muster, you play cards from your hand to build up strength on your side of the board, while wisely using powerful Rainbow cards in order to hamper your opponent.

The game immediately ends when the final card has been drawn from the deck. Players then establish who controls each castle by determining who has the most strength icons on the cards on their side of the board under each castle space. The player who controls the most castles wins the game!

TNT - Kill Team Week 1

Tonight our TNT evenings move onto Kill Team. The league will last eight weeks and we will be doing a different Crit Op each week. For week one we will be doing - CRIT OP 2 SECURE.

We will be setting up multiple boards that and trying to pair players up before they arrive, giving them time to review the Kill Zone and choose equipment and Tac Op choices before they arrive.

We will be tracking VPs for each game along with the Kill Zone that each player battled on, with the hope of being able to vary players experiences each week where possibe.

The Kill Zones for week one are :
