Trading cards are so much more than just 2D pictures. When you play a collectible card game, you enter a world of characters and lore. Trading cards are often a smaller part of a huge media franchise, including many other products: comics, anime series, major motion pictures, and even live-action films (like the Detective Pikachu movie!), proof of just how popular trading cards have become in recent years.

There are so many different trading cards to choose from, each set having its gameplay and story. But with so many to choose from, you're sure to find one you love! Some of the top games from Japan include:

Yu-Gi-Oh! this game began as a manga... about none other than trading cards! The story follows Yugi Mutou, a boy who hosts a gambling spirit in his body. Yugi uses his superpower spirit to play card games and solve conflicts. While the battles in real life might not be as violent as the ones in the manga, they involve just as much strategy and suspense and are perfect for TCG enthusiasts.

Pokémon, the classic cast of adorable "Pocket Monsters," was first introduced as a video game in 1996, produced by the Nintendo Company. That very same year, they released the Pokémon trading cards in Japan, bringing virtual battles to the physical realm of cards. As of 2021, Pokémon has gone on to sell over 34.1 billion cards around the world!

Dragon Ball, a beloved Japanese anime and manga franchise the Bandai company produced, began selling trading cards in 2008. What makes these cards extra special for fans of the franchise is that they feature exclusive artwork from all the anime! All the characters you love have feature cards, including Goku, Piccolo, and Gohan.
