For those of you who may not know, Brokenvase Games, and by extension, Pokémon Cards started out as a way for our founder Mervin Chiang and his son, Keon to bond and communicate beyond the realm of digital devices. Because, as the former business analyst puts it: “We speak the same language – Pokémon.” In 2020, after just a year into playing the game and competing in tournaments, Mervin’s business instincts started to kick in, and he started to think about how he could run a Pokémon gaming centre as a viable business.

Meet Nat Tan, he is the recent recipient of a new Tier 2 level Standard Rotation ready competition deck that features Snorlax Vmax from Pokemon TCG's Sword and Shield Base set. I admit, Nat has been the son of a family friend for a long time. But we are still super happy with the journey Nat and his mum had been with us so far.
