One Piece Card Game is a collectible card game based on the manga One Piece and is released by Bandai in Japan on July 8, 2022, [1] [2] and globally on December 2, 2022. [3] [4]
The One Piece Card Game most resembles the Dragon Ball Super and Hearthstone card games. [5]
Bandai has created an official free tutorial app that teaches the basics of gameplay. [6]
Manga creator Eiichiro Oda confirms the use of manga art in the card game. [2]
The game involves each player selecting a Leader and assembling a team (or "crew") to battle against an opponent. [7]
Compared to the other big three trading card games (Magic: The Gathering, Pokémon, and Yu-Gi-Oh), One Piece Card Game separates the resource cards from the rest of the cards to prevent a draw of cards with no playable moves. [7]
There are five types of cards split between the main deck or used elsewhere: [7]
A player can only use other non-Leader cards that match the color of their Leader card. [7]
TheGamer comments that "less experienced players will find the streamlined rules to be beginner-friendly and easy to learn". [7] First impressions by Dicebreaker comments the game "offers a solid gameplay foundation" with "remarkable consistency and quality of its art design" that "certainly has an exciting future ahead".
