New Pokémon tabletop games include Furret bowling and Hariyama sumo
A new collection of analog tabletop games featuring popular Pokémon is set to arrive at Pokémon Centers just in time for the holidays.
The Pokémon Company has announced four new party games designed for indoor or outdoor play, featuring characters like Clodsire, Ditto, and Furret.
This release follows a busy season of Pokémon merchandise, which recently saw the announcement of the antique-style “Eevee Collection” and a high-end pair of wedding rings from U-TREASURE featuring Espeon and Umbreon.
The lineup offers a variety of playstyles, ranging from balance challenges to action-oriented games.
Highlights include a stacking game where players pile Paldean Wooper onto a Clodsire based on dice rolls, and a wooden puzzle game featuring the transforming Pokémon Ditto.
Here is the full product lineup:
