New Gundam Card Game app and weekly stream announced

BANDAI has unveiled a new suite of resources for the Gundam Card Game, aimed at both new players and seasoned enthusiasts.

A dedicated “Gundam Card Game Teaching App” is now available to help newcomers learn the basic rules and jump into battles, while a new weekly information program, “GUNDAM CARD GAME -Link Station-” will keep the community updated with the latest news and strategies.

The Gundam Card Game unites the vast Gundam franchise under a single, globally accessible TCG system.

Recognizing the importance of a smooth on boarding process for new players, the new Teaching App provides an intuitive entry point into the game’s mechanics.

The “Gundam Card Game Teaching App” is designed to be a one-stop resource for learning the game.

It is available in two convenient formats:

App Version: Downloadable for iOS (iOS 13.0 or later, iPhone XR or higher specs recommended) and Android (Android 12 and later, Google Pixel 4 or higher specs recommended).
Browser Version: Accessible directly through a web browser, requiring no download. This is recommended for those who want to try the game immediately.

The app features a comprehensive tutorial that guides players through the fundamental rules of the Gundam Card Game.

After completing the tutorial, users can build a simple deck and engage in free battles, providing hands-on experience with the game’s flow and strategies.

To celebrate the app’s launch, a special campaign will be held where 100 lucky participants who use the app will randomly win one of the four Starter Decks ([ST01], [ST02], [ST03], or [ST04]).

Beyond teaching the basics, BANDAI is committed to fostering an active and informed community through a new weekly information program, “GUNDAM CARD GAME -Link Station-“.

Weekly broadcasts will start on Friday, June 27th, providing exclusive content that can only be seen through the program.

Viewers can expect:

Unboxing of New Products: Early looks at upcoming releases, generating excitement for future expansions.
Battle Videos Using New Cards: Demonstrations of new card synergies and strategies in action, offering valuable insights for competitive play.
Other Exclusive Information: Details and announcements unique to the broadcast, keeping the community updated on all aspects of the game.

A special one-off broadcast is scheduled for Saturday, July 12th, to promote the release of the Starter Decks.

This celebratory event will feature:

Special Battles with Guest Personalities: Engaging matches showcasing the game’s competitive depth.
Details on Japan Area Qualifiers for “WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS 25-26”: Crucial information for aspiring competitive players looking to participate in the game’s highest level of competition.

These initiatives are part of an approach by BANDAI to try and build a robust and long-lasting community for the Gundam Card Game.

By engaging new players and providing a free online way to try out the game, BANDAI hope that people will be encouraged to try the game out in real life.
