What is Digimon?

The Digimon Card Game is a competitive trading card game. Each player has a companion Digimon in the battle area to attack the opponent. Your Digimon evolves, gets stronger, and gains new power! You win by beating your opponent’s security (reducing your opponent’s Security Area cards to zero) and delivering a knockout blow!

To play the Digimon Card Game, you need a deck of cards. For your first time, we recommend a pre-built Starter Deck! You can strengthen your Digimon with Booster Packs to win battles! For more questions about Digimon, check out their Tutorials and “About Us” page!
