A booster box typically contains 36 booster packs. This is true for both Magic: The Gathering and Pokémon Trading Card Game booster boxes in most English releases. Each booster pack usually contains 10 cards, though this can vary slightly depending on the game and edition. For example:
- Magic: The Gathering draft booster boxes generally have 36 packs, each with 10 commons, 3 uncommons, a rare or mythic rare, a basic land, and a token card
- Pokémon booster boxes in English releases also commonly have 36 packs, with each pack containing 10 cards
Japanese Pokémon booster boxes may vary, often containing between 20 to 30 packs with fewer cards per pack (usually 5 to 7 cards)
. In summary, for most standard English booster boxes, expect 36 booster packs per box.
