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]
Development
[edit]Manga creator Eiichiro Oda confirms the use of manga art in the card game.[2]
Gameplay
[edit]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]
- Main deck cards:
- Character – represent your crew and have the color blue on the backs of the card
- Event – one-time effects that are played from the hand
- Stage – represent the location where the crew is played, often providing a benefit to your Leader of Character cards; each player can only play one Stage card at a time
- Other:
- Leader – they have the color red on the backs of the card and spend the entire time in the Leader area of the play area
- DON!! – resource cards that have a white back and are put into a separate deck from the main deck
A player can only use other non-Leader cards that match the color of their Leader card.[7]
Reception
[edit]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".[6]
