OK, this may be a silly question, but we got the starter packs for our kids (though I must say I like them too!) but there seems to be no instructions on how to play, not even in the starter pack that had the folder in!
Thanks in advance.

All, beware ordering cards from 5minutefun, mine arrived today after 7 days and paying £2.95 postage and many were bent or damaged and not really suitable for including into a collection. Very disappointed.
20th January 2019
Does anyone know if these will be released in Australia. My son has seen them in the magazines and is dying to get them.
20th January 2019
Not heard of any plans but the publisher is expanding to new markets this year, so future series may well arrive beyond the UK and Germany
