It's the earliest you can get your hands on a new Pokémon TCG set. Everyone gets a sealed Build & Battle Box, builds a 40-card deck on the spot, then plays a friendly tournament with it — and keeps everything. No experience and no cards needed; you build from the box, so beginners and veterans start on equal footing. Run by our certified Play! Pokémon Professors, it's a relaxed 4–5 hour afternoon.
Yours to keep
A Build & Battle Box each
A 40-card ready-to-play deck, four booster packs and one of four alternate-art promo cards — you build your deck from the box on the day.
Yours to keep
Booster packs as prizes
Everyone who plays takes home extra boosters at the end — win or lose, you leave with more cards than you came with.
First to play the new set
Pre-Release is the earliest anyone can play Mega Evolution: Delta Reign — a full fortnight before it reaches the shelves.
No collection needed
Total beginners welcome. You build from what's in the box, so everyone starts on a level field — bring nothing but yourself.
At our home, Dice & A Slice Café, Colchester, on Saturday 31 October 2026 — a 4–5 hour afternoon. The date's now confirmed; everyone who's registered gets the booking link first.
Strictly limited — around 20 seats, and Pre-Releases fill up fast. Registering your interest now is how you get the booking link before anyone else.
Bookings open when the Play! Pokémon sanctioning window opens on 28 September 2026 — until then, leave your email and how many you'd bring, and you'll get the booking link first, before it goes live anywhere else. No spam, just this.
