Gundam Card Game Database

The Gundam Card Game (GCG) is a two-player trading card game by Bandai, launched in 2024. Each player builds a 50-card main deck plus a 10-card resource deck and battles with Mobile Suits, Pilots, Bases, and Commands. The game uses an AP/HP combat system with a 6-card shield zone — knock all six shields out and land one more point of damage to win.

A legal deck is exactly 50 cards (Units, Pilots, Commands, and Bases) plus a separate 10-card resource deck. You may use one or two of the four colors (Blue, Green, Red, White) and a maximum of four copies of any card sharing the same card number. Resource cards have no copy limit in the resource deck. The full rules are on the /how-to-play page.

A drag-and-drop builder is in development on this site. Until it ships, the /database page lets you filter all cards by color, type, cost, AP/HP, level, rarity, and keyword — enough to draft a list by hand.

Decklist scraping is being wired up — community lists from Bandai's Newtype Challenge events, Store Championships, and Regionals will populate the /decklists page once the pipeline lands. For now, Bandai's own event hub at gundam-gcg.com publishes top-cut lists from major tournaments.

There is no official Bandai-hosted online client as of mid-2026. Most digital play is community-run — Tabletop Simulator setups are the most active option, and the Gundam Card Game subreddit and Discord track the latest mod links. The official Bandai TCG+ platform handles event registration and store qualifiers but not digital play.

The most recent set indexed in this database is Phantom Aria (GD04). Bandai's 2026 schedule continues with Generation Pulse [ST10] and Eternal Nexus [EB01] in June, then Freedom Ascension [GD05] in July and Stardust Trails [GD06] in October. Check the official products page for region-specific dates.

Sealed product (boosters and starter decks) is sold through Bandai TCG+ authorized retailers and most local game stores carrying Bandai titles. Singles are widely available on TCGPlayer, which added the game to its catalog in 2025. Card pages on this site link directly to TCGPlayer with affiliate tagging — purchases support the site at no extra cost to you.

Start with the newest legal Starter Deck from your region rather than building from boosters. Bandai runs a dedicated Starter Deck Battle Event throughout 2026 specifically for new-player on-ramps, so a starter is the most supported entry point. The Generation Pulse [ST10] starter line is the latest scheduled wave.

AP is attack points (offensive strength), HP is hit points (defensive strength — when it reaches zero, the Unit is destroyed), and Lv is the required level to deploy a Unit. Some Units also have a Link condition — pair them with a matching Pilot and they can attack the turn they deploy. See /how-to-play for full combat math.

The seven core keyword effects from comprehensive rules v1.6.0 are: <Repair X> (heal X HP at end of turn), <Breach X> (deal X damage to top shield when destroying an enemy Unit), <Support X> (rest to give a friendly Unit AP+X), <Blocker> (redirect attacks to this Unit), <First Strike> (deal damage before the defender), <High-Maneuver> (enemies can't activate <Blocker>), and <Suppression> (damage two shields at once). Each is filterable on the /database page.
