Gundam Trading Card Game and Miniature Game Launching Soon!
A new and exciting entry into the world of tabletop gaming is on the horizon. The upcoming Gundam Trading Card Game (TCG) and Gundam Miniature Game are set to launch together, bringing the legendary mecha franchise into a new format for fans to enjoy. While both games share a common theme, they are distinct experiences, offering different ways to engage with the iconic Mobile Suits and characters from the Gundam universe.
The Gundam Trading Card Game
The Gundam TCG is an upcoming competitive card game featuring Mobile Suit pilots, units, and factions from across the franchise’s history. Players build decks and battle using strategic mechanics unique to each faction and playstyle. You can get an early look at how the game plays in the official Learn to Play video here.
At launch, four different starter decks will be available:
-
SEED Strike [ST04A] – A defensive White and Red deck focusing on Gundam SEED, featuring Kira Yamato/Aile Strike Gundam and Athrun Zala/Aegis Gundam.

Each deck includes a Bonus Pack, which contains one of 16 full-art holographic cards. Some special decks will even contain all cards in this unique treatment.
