Heading to UK Games Expo this weekend (29 to 31 May 2026)? It is your first chance in the UK to try the Palworld Official Card Game. Bushiroad is running demo sessions for the new TCG at the NEC in Birmingham across all three days, ahead of a worldwide release on 30 July.
Run game nights? Backseat Gamer handles RSVPs, waitlists, date polling, and game voting so you can focus on playing.
Start organising for freePalworld, the hit survival-crafting video game where you catch creatures called Pals and put them to work (yes, the ones often compared to a certain pocket-monster franchise), is being adapted into a two-player competitive trading card game. You build a team of Pals, gather resources and construct structures to control the field and race towards victory, according to Tabletop Gaming. It launches with two trial decks and a booster pack, and releases simultaneously in English, Japanese and Simplified Chinese.
The Birmingham demos are one stop on a wider Bushiroad tour. If you cannot make UKGE, the official schedule also lists a UK date at Manchester Central on 18 to 19 July, while trial deck presales begin in June.
Got a regular group? Create a private community, poll for the best date, vote on games, and let your friends RSVP in one place.
Set up your group for freeFor a brand-new TCG, getting hands-on before you spend is the smart move. If you like what you find, rope in a couple of mates and start a regular game night once your decks arrive.
