What is One Piece TCG?

The One Piece Card Game is a trading card game based on the popular manga and anime series created by Eiichiro Oda. Published by Bandai, the game lets you build decks featuring your favorite characters from the One Piece universe.

Card Types

Leader Cards

Every deck needs exactly one Leader card. Your Leader determines:

• Your starting Life points
• The colors you can include in your deck
• Special abilities that can turn the tide of battle

Character Cards

These are the pirates, marines, and other characters that will battle on your behalf. Character cards have:

• Cost: How much DON!! you need to play them
• Power: Their attack strength
• Counter: Defense value when blocking

Event Cards

One-time use cards that provide various effects when played.

Stage Cards

Permanent cards that provide ongoing benefits to your side of the field.

DON!! Cards

The resource system of the game. You add DON!! cards to your field each turn to pay for characters and abilities.
