- What is “GUNDAM Card Game”? -
The “GUNDAM Card Game” is a card game in which players use Mobile Suits and Pilots from the “Mobile Suit Gundam” Series in card battles.
Mobile Suits are seen on “Unit Cards”, the operators of these are seen on “Pilot Cards” while other things from the series such as battle ships and various characters are seen on “Base Cards” and “Command Cards”. A deck of 50 cards is made up of these four card types and used to battle another player. Pilots can be attached to Units to increase their power, and designated pairings, called “Linked Unit” can also be made and help you aim for victory.
Of course there are rules prepared for the standard 1 vs 1 play, but there will also be rules for other types of play like a “Team Battle” (2 vs 2) and “Battle Royale” (3 or more players, no teams).

■What is “Gundam”?
The "Mobile Suit Gundam" anime first aired in Japan in 1979, revolutionizing the genre by portraying fictional mecha as "mobile suits," incorporating realistic weapons of war, meticulous scientific details, and complex human drama. This shifted the focus from the simplistic good-versus-evil narratives of earlier “robot anime” and established the genre of "real robot anime," which became a massive sensation.
Since then, Gundam has continued to thrive, producing 24 TV animation works, 30 theatrical and screening releases, 27 OVA titles, as well as numerous streaming contents, events, and TV specials. It has garnered enduring popularity both in Japan and internationally.
