Dragon Ball Super Card Game

About this board game

Dragon Ball Super Card Game is a two-player collectible card game released in 2017, with sessions lasting around 60 minutes. It brings together characters from Dragon Ball Super and countless other Dragon Ball series in a single card game experience.

As the newest iteration of the Dragon Ball license in a collectible card game, DBS borrows some basic terms and ideas from earlier versions while introducing several distinctive mechanics of its own. The result is a card game built around familiar Dragon Ball themes, including combos and dramatic power-ups.

One of the game’s defining features is its unique combo system. Cards can also serve multiple purposes, creating flexibility in how they are used during play:

• Cards can function as energy.
• Cards can be used for combos.
• Cards can represent characters.

The game also includes a system designed to emulate the tendency of Dragon Ball characters to power up after taking damage. This connects the card game to a recognizable feature of the source material while adding another layer to its design.

With its broad cast of Dragon Ball characters, multi-purpose cards, and combination-focused play, Dragon Ball Super Card Game offers a dedicated collectible card game interpretation of the franchise. Its two-player format and approximately one-hour play time make it a focused way to explore the mechanics introduced in this 2017 release.
