This time, we will explain the rules of Azuki's card game in simple terms so that everyone can understand!
What kind of game is Azuki's trading card game (TCG)?
What was announced this time is a competitive trading card game based on Azuki's worldview. When you hear trading card games, many people may think of the Pokemon card game or Yu-Gi-Oh! It's a game where you collect cards like that, create your own deck (a pile of cards), and play against other players.

Check out the basic rules! The purpose and flow of the game
Let's take a closer look at the basic rules of the game revealed in the official guide.
- Objective of the game: It's very simple! Each player has life points, and the first to take away their opponent's life pointszeroThe winner will be the one who does it.
- Card Type: There seem to be three main types of cards used in the game.
- Character Cards: These cards are the main players in battle. They attack and defend themselves from opponents' attacks. Azuki's iconic characters will be appearing!
- Item Cards: These are cards that can be equipped to characters to power them up, similar to a "sword" or "armor."
- Action Cards: Like magic or special moves, cards have an effect once they are used, and they have the power to completely change the course of battle.
- How the game works (1 turn): When it is your turn, you act as follows:
- Draw Phase: First, draw one card from the deck. Enhance your hand.
- Main Phase: This is the main time to play characters from your hand and use items. To use a card, press the "KiYou will need energy called "Ki." This "Ki" will increase a little each turn, so which cards you use it on will be the key to your strategy!
- Battle Phase: Once you're ready, attack the other player with your character! Your opponent will also defend with their own characters, so a heated battle will unfold.
The basic flow is similar to that of regular card games, so both those who have played card games before and first-time players will be able to get used to it right away!
