Naruto Card Game FAQ
When does the Naruto Card Game come out?
Bandai has set a simultaneous worldwide release in June 2027. The exact day has not been announced yet.
How much will Naruto Card Game starter decks and boosters cost?
Prices for the starter decks and the first booster have not been announced yet. The only official prices so far are for event items: the Premium Card Collection vol.00 CHAKRA set at $20 and the NARUTO vs SASUKE playmat at $40 at the Premier Demo Events.
How do you play the Naruto Card Game?
Each player has a Leader with 15 LIFE and tries to bring the opponent's Leader to 0. You summon Characters by resting your Summon card, pay costs by turning Chakra cards face-down, and use Supports to interrupt the opponent, even during their attack.
How many cards are in a Naruto Card Game deck?
You play with 1 Leader, a 50-card deck in the Leader's colour, 5 Chakra cards and 1 Summon card, 57 cards in total. The English site says 51 cards because it counts the Leader together with the deck.
What is a Chakra card?
Chakra cards are the game's resource: each player has 5 of them outside the deck and turns one face-down for each point of cost paid. From the second turn the Leader's Recovery can turn them all face-up again.
What is the Leader in the Naruto Card Game?
The Leader is the card your deck is built around: it stays in play all game, has 15 LIFE and its colour decides which cards you can use. Revealed Leaders also have an effect and a Recovery ability that refreshes your Chakra.
What does the Summon card do?
Each player has exactly 1 Summon card next to the deck. You rest it to bring a Character into play; EX Characters ignore it and use their own Summon Requirements.
What is an EX Character?
EX Characters are stronger Characters that cannot be summoned normally. Each one lists Summon Requirements, usually placing some of your Characters in the trash, such as a Character with 10 or more power.
Is this the same as the old Bandai Naruto CCG?
No. Bandai published an earlier Naruto collectible card game, released in English from 2006 and discontinued in the early 2010s. The NARUTO CARD GAME is a new game with its own rules built on Leaders, Chakra and Summon cards, and Bandai has said nothing about using the old cards.
