Collecting the Final Fantasy Trading Card Game

The Final Fantasy series has a storied history in the realm of video games. Spanning multiple consoles, genres, stories, and characters, it remains a popular franchise. While there is a Japan-only Final Fantasy card game, this focuses on the more recent, international version released in 2016.

The Final Fantasy TCG uses 50 card decks made of cards representing various characters from the series, with the goal of dealing 7 points worth of damage to the opponent. The game uses 4 types of cards: Forward, Backup, Summon, and Monster. Each type has a different function, but backup and forward cards are most important. For more information, check the official site, and an interactive tutorial can be found on the rules page.

A FFTCG deck must contain 50 cards, making decks easier to store and transport. For example, the Prism Deck Case holds two single-sleeved, 50 card decks.

The Prime X4 Gaming Box stores four decks, or two decks along with a Boss Deck. A pack of Elite2 Deck Guards contains enough sleeves for two decks, or to sleeve a Boss deck.

If you’re a card gamer looking for a new game with excellent artwork, a video gamer looking for gateway into card games, or a Final Fantasy fan wanting to enjoy familiar characters, the Final Fantasy Trading Card Game is worth a look.
