It's another month, and yet another Pokemon expansion, and thankfully this one is just as good as the last. While there are new cards in the mix, it's great to see that Unbroken Bonds builds off the last expansion pack that introduced Tag Team-GX cards.

So few games now-a-days can be taken out and about, played anywhere and everywhere, with little setup and almost no time commitment.
