Trading Card games
Trading card games, TCGs, are a beloved form of gameplay where players build their own decks and battle it out using strategy and skill. Each player crafts a unique deck from their collection and uses tactics to outsmart their opponent. TCGs are both fun and challenging, making them a favorite across all ages.
At Malmö Game Week, you’ll be able to play everything from Magic: The Gathering, Disney Lorcana, Pokémon, Star Wars Unlimited, and more. Some games are head-to-head, while others are played in teams or free-for-all style. Join one of our tournaments and compete against both local talent and visitors from afar.
Visit our Learn To Play area, where experienced players will walk you through the basics at your own pace. Borrow a deck, try out different games, and find what suits your style best. You’ll also be able to swap cards and ideas with others as you build your perfect deck. We learn together and have a great time doing it!
