Description

Pokemon Pom Jong the new game with a 5000 year old tradition.

Pom Jong is a game derived from its similarities to Gin Rummy and Mah Jongg.

Pom Jong characters are easier to learn than Mah Jongg characters, and the rules of the game are simpler.

As with Mah Jongg, the game of Pom Jong has its roots in China and is comprised of 81 plastic tiles of different suits and symbols showing your favorite Pokemon characters!

The tiles are collected and discarded by players one by one as they try to build sets, much like Gin Rummy, until one of the players acquires a winning hand.

Players may join or leave at the beginning or end of any hand.

Pom Jong is a fast and exciting game than can be played between 4 players and appeals to all ages.

It can be a family game, a teen game, an adult game, or solitary pastime.

This is a family game to be played by old & young alike!
