Naruto Card Game Will Make Its World Debut at Gen Con 2026
Naruto Card Game is a strategic trading card game featuring characters and stories from across the Naruto series, including Naruto, Naruto: Shippuden, and Boruto: Naruto Next Generations. Each player builds around a Leader card, with a deck of 51 cards, 5 Chakra cards, and 1 Summon card, assembling Characters in their Leader's color and attacking to reduce the opponent's Leader's Life to zero.
Card Types
- Leader Card — The heart of a player's deck. A player's cards and strategies are determined by the color of their Leader, with games won when an opponent's Leader's Life is brought to zero.
- Character Card — A player's front line. Character cards execute attacks, and some can unleash Jutsu, such as Ninjutsu, by paying a Chakra cost.
- EX Character Card — After meeting certain conditions during the match, these powerful, high-impact Characters can swing the game into a player's favor.
- Chakra Card — A player's resource pool, spent to activate Jutsu and other Support effects at the moment they're needed.
- Summon Card — A required card to bring Character cards into battle.
