PLAY GUIDE｜ONE PIECE CARD GAME

What You Need to Play the Game

To play, you'll need 1 Leader Card,
a 50-card deck, and 10 DON!! cards.

Your deck is made up of 3 types of cards:

Your deck must match the color of your Leader Card,
and you can include up to 4 copies of any one card number.

Card Types

There are five types of cards.

Leader Card

Your Leader sets the overall direction for your deck, and can attack and use effects. The Life value, shown in the lower right, determines how many Life cards you have. This number varies depending on your Leader card.

DON!! Cards

DON!! cards are used to pay costs or given to Leaders and Characters to boost their power. You gain 2 DON!! cards automatically each turn (up to 10 total; on turn 1, the first player only gets 1).

Character Cards

Character cards are played from your hand by paying their cost with DON!! cards. They have power and effects, and can attack your opponent's Leader or Characters. They're the core component of any battle.

Event Cards

Event cards are one-time effects you play from your hand by paying their DON!! cost. Many offer powerful effects, including some that can be used during your opponent's attack to turn the tides!

Stage Cards

Stage cards are played from your hand using DON!! cards. You can only have one on your field at a time, and they provide ongoing effects that support your Leader or Characters.
