You Know, A Cardcaptor Sakura Card Game Actually Makes Sense

Japan is on a card game binge with Naruto, Bleach, One Piece, and even Hyperdimension Neptunia card games. Unlike those series, a Cardcaptor Sakura card battling game actually fits the source material and Endless Ocean developer Arika is making one for Mobage.

Cardcaptor Sakura: Sakura and the Miraculous Card has an original story that takes place after Sakura seals the Clow Cards. There are three kinds of cards you can collect leader cards, action cards, and Clow Cards. Each week one Clow Card will appear for players to seal.

Players can enhance cards and increase their rarity by using strengthen cards, evolution cards, and training cards. When Leader Cards evolve their Card Voice skill level rises and some cards have voice sound bytes. Sakura Tange who voiced Cardcaptor Sakura recorded new samples for this game.

Service for Cardcaptor Sakura: Sakura and the Miraculous Card kicks off on December 2. There are 52 Clow Cards to seal and only one appears each week, so if you want to beat Cardcaptor Sakura you’ll need to stick with the game for at least a year.
