Modes

There are four gameplay modes in Pokémon Zany Cards.

Wild Match

1-5 players. Players are given the challenge of matching sets of cards on the table and winning coins. Once a player has played a card, they then draw a card and add it to the table; if this card makes a set that player gets coins. The player with the most coins at the end of the game is the winner.
