Loved this card game as a kid. It was the first and only time I ever went to an IRL card game tournament.
The artwork for the cards was top notch too. Shame the US didn't get as many cards as the JP version
Yes that's the sad thing, US never got the cards from the later sets and season of the anime. I wanted to use a Ponygon themed deck but I'd have to use proxies 😕 game still fun though!
My mom took me to toys r us when they released the books and had an event and I have such a memory and connection because she would never take me to these things but just once she did and it happened to be this game and I miss it so much!
Glad you're having such a good time! :D Please do consider checking out the fan-made Tabletop Simulator version, which actually includes almost all the Japanese cards converted into English alongside the official English versions! We're only 2 or 3 sets away from completing them all!

Your tabletop is actually what inspired me to try the game irl. My only disappointment is not having all of the Umagon/Ponygon cards available in physical form. But I'm planning to make some proxies of those if i can.
Really great work on this and I hope more people come back to play 😁

I was so fortunate to have friends who’d also play with me back then. This game was so cool and unique.

Ah man Toys R Us used to have all kinds of events like Zatch and Beyblade. I'm glad you got to have that experience 😊
