Join us at Gnome Games Appleton East for our Earth Day Pokémon Celebration!
On Saturday, April 25th, come decorate your very own Bulbasaur pot in celebration of Earth Day! While we know Earth Day is actually on April 22nd, we’re hosting our full celebration for it on Saturday so our Pokémon Club friends can join in on the fun! For this very special, once-a-year event, we provide everyone with a Bulbasaur paper cutout, some pots to wrap it around, and seeds to plant! By time you’re done, you’ll have your very own Bulbasaur pot to watch grow at home.
We provide soil, various seed types, and multiple coloring supplies to build up your pot with! This counts as a Pokémon Club activity, so players can check-in for the week and qualify for Prize Packs as well. Don’t have a Pokémon ID? We can set you up with one in-store for free!
Entry is $10 to cover supplies.
What is the Pokémon Trading Card Game?
The Pokémon TCG is all about battling with various cards from the Pokémon franchise! You and your opponent will face off in a Pokémon battle and try to Knock Out each other’s Pokémon. The first player to Knock Out 6 Pokémon wins the game! Using cards such as Pokémon, Trainers, Arenas, and more, battle your way to victory!
Not interested in battling? That’s where the trading comes in! Meet up with like-minded players to chat about your favorite Pokémon and engage in equal trades to collect more of what you like!
Interested in learning how to play the Pokémon TCG? Check out their interactive tutorial, or stop by and one of our friendly Gnomes will show you!

Join us at Gnome Games Appleton East for our Learn to Play Catan demo event!
On Friday, April 24th from 5 PM to 8 PM, participate in a guided learn to play session for Catan! Enjoy this award-winning classic as you collect resources, build settlements, and dominate the island of Catan! A friendly Gnome on staff is available to teach the game, and we handle set-up and take-down. Anyone that participates receives a special Catan – Get Together expansion pack just for playing!
Entry is free! Just come on in, take a seat, and learn to play!
What is Catan?
In Catan, players build up the island by managing their resources to build settlements, roads, and cities. Roll dice each turn to determine which resources the island gives you, spend resources to build up your territory, build up your army, and more! Tiles are placed randomly together each game, ensuring tons of replay value and varying opportunities. Earn points from your settlements and cities, from development cards that grant points based on certain objectives, and for the longest road or largest army!
Catan’s website offers more information on this crazy popular game!
