Questions
What's the best card game for two players?
The Magic: The Gathering Avatar Beginner Box and the One Piece Set Sail Deck Set both hold two decks, so one box is enough. For a game the whole family can play together, Magic's Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Team Up takes up to four players working together.
Do I need two starter decks?
For Pokémon, Disney Lorcana, Gundam and Star Wars: Unlimited, yes: each starter is one player's deck. We've listed pairs that play well against each other.
