For all those fans who love card games, the collectible card game of Naruto is a must play.
In the year 2003, February, Bandai launched in Japan these cards for the very first time which was followed by a North American release in the English language after three years that is in 2006, April.
So how is one supposed to play this game?
Two players are needed to play this game who pick up a custom - made fifty cards deck from the whole set. Apart from this a game mat is needed, and also something which can be used to jot down as to whose turn comes when. Apart from this you should have what is termed as a “Ninja Blade Coin”, yes the very same one which is always used for flipping when it comes to making choices.

The winner of this game is the one who has gained at least ten number of “battle rewards” in the course of the game or when the opponent has finished up all his cards.
All these collectible cards are grouped up in sets which are termed “series” which are four in number and have fifty cards each, contained in specially made boxes. Now these sets all have some specific features like the game mat, starter deck, a turn - counter and the “Ninja Blade Coin” which is a beautiful piece of stainless steel.
Apart from this, if you want you can purchase more ten card booster packs and even deck sets which have all four boxes for every series. Then a friend of mine was gifted once, a tin box that had cards of each set, with many booster packs and some special promo cards.
You all will be surprised to know that from 2006, October onwards; about seventeen series have been launched in Japan all of which have unique cards, about four hundred and seventeen in number. But only ten of these have arrived in America I am told.
So, go ahead, I know the TV series will always be more fun but the game is good as well, try it.
