One Piece Card Game


One Piece Card Game is a collectible card game based on the manga One Piece. The One Piece Card Game most resembles the Dragon Ball Super and Hearthstone card games. Bandai has created an official free tutorial app that teaches the basics of gameplay.

Development and publication

The One Piece Card Game is a new and separate card game to the previously released One Piece card game, which was also produced by Bandai. The new card game was released by Bandai in Japan on July 8, 2022, and globally on December 2, 2022. The launch included four themed-starter decks based on different groups from the series: the Straw Hat Pirates, the Worst Generation, the Seven Warlords of the Sea, and the Animal Kingdom Pirates.
Manga creator Eiichiro Oda confirms the use of manga art in the card game. Moreover, a unique set of cards based on characters featured in Netflix's live-action adaptation of the anime.

Gameplay

The game involves each player selecting a Leader and assembling a team to battle against an opponent.
Compared to the other big three trading card games, One Piece Card Game separates the resource cards from the rest of the cards to prevent a draw of cards with no playable moves.
There are five types of cards split between the main deck or used elsewhere:
  • Main deck cards:
  • * Character – represent your crew and have the color blue on the backs of the card
  • * Event – one-time effects that are played from the hand
  • * Stage – represent the location where the crew is played, often providing a benefit to your Leader of Character cards; each player can only play one Stage card at a time
  • Other:
  • * Leader – they have the color red on the backs of the card and spend the entire time in the Leader area of the play area
  • * DON!! – resource cards that have a white back and are put into a separate deck from the main deck
A player can only use other non-Leader cards that match the color of their Leader card.

Promotional tour

Cards were being given away in a promotion for the second season of the live action series at college basketball games starting at Rutgers University on January 23, 2026 and continuing for three games each there as well as at Gonzaga University, St. John's University, University of Houston, and University of Illinois. Every attendee received a card at the first of three games, which scalpers attempted to buy to resell. After the second giveaway at Rutgers on January 27, an unknown burglar or burglars broke into the building and stole the remaining cards from a locked office that night.
