PK Cards: The Broken Seal

Over the weekend I had the chance to test out PK Cards for a local card shop that I do a lot of work with. I was given 4 starter decks, about 20 boosters, and told to grab 3 friends and take over a table to play. At first we were all a little unsure about what was going on, spending at least 30 minutes reading over rules and things. It has a hint of Magic: the Gathering to it, where there are five elements.
