Naruto Mythos TCG — A New Era of Shinobi Card Battles

Naruto Mythos TCG is an upcoming trading card game set in the legendary world of Naruto, created by Cicaboom S.r.l. and launching on September 30, 2025. The debut set, Konoha Shidō, explores the origins of Team 7 and the early tales of the Hidden Leaf Village. The game will release across Europe, the UK, Turkey, and MENA.

Gameplay at a Glance

At its heart, Naruto Mythos TCG blends strategy, resource management, and narrative-driven missions. Each game is played over four rounds, and every round begins with the reveal of a Mission card. Inspired by key moments from the anime, missions grant Mission Points and introduce unique challenges. Their ranks—D, C, B, and A—reflect the stage of the match, increasing intensity as the game progresses.

A core mechanic is Hidden, which lets players deploy ninjas face-down. This creates bluffing, deception, and tactical suspense reminiscent of true shinobi combat. Upgrades unlock famous techniques, like Kakashi’s Lightning Blade, offering powerful abilities when their costs are met.

Characters feature two essential stats:

• Chakra – the resource cost to play them
• Power – their strength during missions

Strategic movement and board control play major roles, and some matches may be decided by the critical Edge Token, used for tie-breaking.

Card Collection & Character Variety

The card pool highlights iconic heroes, villains, clans, and summons from the Naruto universe. Confirmed characters include Naruto, Sasuke, Sakura, Kakashi, and legendary summons like Gamabunta. Cards appear in several rarities—Common, Rare, Secret, and Legendary—enhancing collectibility. Each card features lore-based abilities that capture the essence of the character and their defining moments.

Decks contain only 30 cards, making deckbuilding fast and accessible while still offering meaningful strategic depth. Shorter matches and tighter card choices ensure a smooth learning curve for newcomers.

Organized Play & Community

Naruto Mythos TCG launches with a fully developed Organized Play (OP) Program. Stores will host pre-release events on launch day with exclusive promo cards. Ongoing weekly events, regional qualifiers, and future large-scale tournaments will support both casual and competitive players.

An official rulebook for the Konoha Shidō set is already available, allowing fans to familiarize themselves with the game before launch. Early demos at major conventions, including Spiel Essen, have been met with highly positive feedback for their smooth flow, thematic feel, and newcomer-friendly mechanics.

Why Players Are Excited

Naruto Mythos TCG is designed for both fans of Naruto and dedicated TCG players. Its mission-based structure provides natural pacing, while Hidden cards and Upgrade timing create cinematic, high-impact moments. Deep love for the source material shines through, and innovative gameplay elements set it apart from other trading card games.

With immersive mechanics, rich lore integration, and a strong competitive foundation, Naruto Mythos TCG is shaping up to be one of the most exciting new TCG releases in years.
