On her first day at Dudsdale Elementary, 10-year old Jess accidentally gets everybody's favorite collectible card game banned, forcing the kids to take their card battles underground. Troubles arise when mutants from the game invade the real world, and it's up to Jess and friends to stop them.

You will explore Dudsdale Elementary on a mission to build killer card decks in an effort to defeat the mutants. You will have to trade, earn, wager, change rules and permanently alter cards on your way to victory. BE A CHAMPION: Build your decks around the ultra rare Champion cards you earn.…

The card game is fun, but not remarkably so. The story is woke. A paraplegic girl teams up with a half-hispanic half-african girl to take…
