Confirm the current GUNDAM set before you buy a first product

Ask which GUNDAM set is current, check the language version on the box, and only then decide between a starter deck and boosters.

Key points

  • Ask for the current set, since this is a new line.
  • Check the set number and language version before buying.
  • A starter deck plays out of the box; boosters chase singles.

Starter

Match number and language first. Then pick a starter deck or a booster. The deck is the faster route to a game you can actually play, while boosters only pay off when you already know the card you want.

Fewer Hong Kong shops carry this line than carry Pokémon, so the current set is worth confirming out loud at the counter. Wider coverage sits on the GUNDAM Card Game page (Cantonese).

FAQ

Starter deck or boosters first?

Confirm the set number and language version first. A starter deck then gets you playing sooner, and boosters make sense once a specific card is the goal.

Why does the current set matter so much here?

Because the GUNDAM Card Game is a new line and shop coverage in Hong Kong is thinner than Pokémon’s. Asking for the current set avoids buying into something already superseded.

Do GUNDAM cards share Pokémon collector numbers?

No. They do not. Use the set and number printed on the GUNDAM card rather than a Pokémon-style lookup.
