Any attendees will also receive a special oversized Pokémon TCG booster pack that will contain a mini pack with three Pokémon cards, a Pokémon coin, an activity sheet, and a guide to trading.

Players are encouraged to bring their own cards to trade with other attendees, play with friends, and purchase more packs to increase their collections.

The giveaways will only be available on a first-come, first-serve basis. It’s unclear exactly what will be in the giveaways, however.
