Courtyard pulled all four Gengar’s Game Night packs on October 26, 2026. Gengar’s Game: Encore at $99 took their place. The cheapest Gengar rip now costs $99, up from $35. Anyone who wanted a low-priced Gengar pull no longer has that option.

MyCardRips detected the change in its poll at 22:26 UTC on October 26, 2026. The poll at 12:32 UTC the same day still showed all four packs active. Courtyard’s live listings carry no note explaining the swap.

What Courtyard removed

The series ran four price tiers. Courtyard’s listings of October 26, 2026 priced them at $35, $75, $100 and $225. Expected value sat at 96.0% of price on every tier, and the buy-back ratio was 84.6%.

Game Night 1 was the volume pack. Its pull counter read 52,097 rips on October 26, 2026, the highest count in the series. Game Night 2 logged 12,211 and Game Night 3 logged 9,632. Game Night 4 logged 2,365.

Together the four packs logged 76,305 rips. Those counters cover the window since each pack listed.

What replaced them

Gengar’s Game: Encore lists at $99 with an expected value of $95.04, or 96.0% of price. Courtyard’s listing of October 27, 2026 shows a buy-back ratio of 87.6%. That is 3 points above the 84.6% on the retired packs.

The odds table of October 27, 2026 sets the minimum card value at $50. The base bucket of $50 to $75 carries 54% odds. A card worth $99 or more appears on 30% of rips, summing the uncommon, rare and chase buckets. The chase bucket runs $396 to $6,400 at 1% odds.

Encore drew 2,107 rips in its first hours, read at 04:16 UTC on October 27, 2026. Courtyard’s Gold Edition at $500 stays active. It drew 673 rips in the same 24 hours.

What it changes for your next rip

Entry cost is the change. Courtyard’s listing of October 26, 2026 priced the cheapest Gengar rip at $35. Courtyard’s listing of October 27, 2026 prices it at $99.

The price ladder also lost its middle. The Gengar line holds two packs as of October 27, 2026, at $99 and $500. Nothing sits between them, and nothing sits below.

The buy-back rate did move in your favor. Courtyard’s October 27, 2026 listing shows 87.6% on Encore, or $86.72 on a card valued at $99. The retired packs paid 84.6% on October 26, 2026, or $29.61 on a $35 card.

Courtyard also listed two other limited drops in the October 26, 2026 poll. Monday Night Matchup (Spicy) costs $89 with $85.44 of expected value. Sports GOAT costs $189 with $181.44, per Courtyard’s listings of October 27, 2026. Both carry the 84.6% buy-back ratio and a 1% chase bucket.

The pattern repeats from earlier this month. Courtyard retired Fire and Electric on October 16, 2026 when it listed its $39 and $749 packs. It also cut Game Night 3 from $150 to $100 on October 21, 2026. Limited series now last days, not weeks.

Terms, grading partners and withdrawal rules sit in the Courtyard review. Every Courtyard Pokémon pack MyCardRips has captured is in the Pokémon pack catalog.
