Parent Pro-Tip

Parents should monitor spending closely in this microtransaction-heavy game and set clear limits on competitive play. Encourage a focus on strategic learning and social interaction through trading rather than solely on winning or collecting rare cards to mitigate potential negative social and emotional impacts.
