Pokémon Duel strategic board game launched on iOS, Android

Pokémon Duel is a strategy board game that lets you collect digital pokémon figures. The objective is to deploy your Pokémon figures on the game board and move them to the goal in your opponent’s territory. The main idea of the game is to reach your goal before you opponent.

Players can then build their party of six Pokémon for their team, with each Pokémon having different strengths and also a set number of steps that it can take – making it important to calculate and move your steps strategically. You play by sending your Pokémon on different routes to reach the goal, while also trying to block your opponent from advancing.

“When you get next to one of your foe’s Pokémon along your route, you’ll need to engage in battle to advance. Battles are determined by Attacks on each Pokémon’s Data Disk—spin the disk to see which Attack each Pokémon will use. Try to Knock Out the opposing Pokémon or cause it to move out of your way,” the company explains on its website.
