The new, easy-to-learn Blue Dragon RPCG features characters from the
popular Blue Dragon Xbox 360(R) video game by famed developer, Hironobu
Sakaguchi, and featuring character designs by Akira Toriyama, the creator of
the best-selling DRAGON BALL series of manga (which is published in North
America by VIZ Media and featured in SHONEN JUMP Magazine).
The Blue Dragon RPCG enables younger players to enjoy all of the aspects
of traditional card games and allows them to grow with the game - utilizing a
unique advancing game mechanic, it pits one player's strategy and
Deck-building prowess against another in a head-to-head battle of Shadows and
Partners using Command and Skill Cards.
'The Blue Dragon RPCG format offers us many opportunities to bring the
best of the video game and of the animation into an innovative and
kid-friendly game,' said Yumi Hoashi, Vice President of Card Business for KDE.
'We wanted to create an evolving gameplay experience that advances as the
players master strategies, learn new abilities and one which has long-lasting
play value.'
In the Blue Dragon RPCG, each player has their own Deck of cards. Players
take turns attacking and defending, with two ways to win. Each player starts
out with 20 Life Points (LP). To win the game, players continue to attack
against their opponent until they have no LP left, or put them in a state
where they have no cards left to draw.
The first Blue Dragon Role Playing Card Game release consists of two
unique starter decks, Dark Shadow Wielder and Light Shadow Wielder.
