It’s $20 on Steam, which is entirely worth it if anyone else you know owns it—the fun is in playing with friends. Now, whether it’s creating a deck, cube, or simply messing with cards, the first task is subscribing to RomyKing’s Steam Workshop with all of the card information.

For those who aren’t aware: Mental Pokémon is based on Mental Magic and, as the name suggests, is all in your head. You start with a normal deck (keep in mind that a random stack of cards works as well) of Pokémon cards, but instead of what’s printed on the card, the cards you draw can be anything of that same classification of card (Basic, Stage 1, Stage 2, Supporter, Item, etc.). The cards have to…
Aided by the soft pads on its feet, it silently raids the food stores of other Pokémon. It survives off its ill-gotten gains. (Nickit)
Its body is covered in sweet nectar, and the skin on its back is especially yummy. Children used to have it as a snack. (Appletun)
