Quick answer
The GUNDAM CARD GAME is Bandai’s trading card game for the Gundam franchise, first released in July 2025. CardSpicy indexes it in full: 1,148 cards across 25 products — 6 booster packs, 14 starter decks and 5 other products and promotions — built on five colours and printed at the standard 63 × 88 mm trading-card size.
The short version
- 1,148 cards exist in the base set of the game as we count it: one entry per printed card number, excluding the parallel reprints that reuse a number with a suffix.
- They are sold in 25 products — 6 booster packs, 14 starter decks and 5 other products and promotions.
- Every card is built on one of five colours: Green (210), Blue (208), White (202), Red (184), Purple (152).
- Cards are printed at the same 63 × 88 mm as Pokémon, One Piece, Dragon Ball and Naruto, so one sleeve or holder fits all of them.
What is actually in the game
727 of the 1,148 cards are units or pilots, meaning they name a mobile suit or a character. The other 421 are support cards: the commands, bases and resources that fill out a deck.
| Card type | Cards | What it is |
|---|---|---|
| UNIT | 600 | A mobile suit or other machine. These are the cards that fight. |
| COMMAND | 157 | An order that resolves once and goes away. |
| PILOT | 127 | A character. Pilot cards pair with units. |
| RESOURCE | 107 | A card that pays for other cards. |
| BASE | 72 | A structure that stays in play. |
| EX BASE | 28 | A base printed at a higher tier. |
| EX RESOURCE | 28 | A resource printed at a higher tier. |
| UNIT TOKEN | 27 | A token unit, generated by other cards rather than drawn from a deck. |
| UNIT TOKEN | 2 | A token unit, generated by other cards rather than drawn from a deck. |
The five colours
Colour is the game’s main deck-building constraint. Across the 956 cards that carry a colour, the split is:
| Colour | Cards | Share | Most common source series |
|---|---|---|---|
| Green | 210 | 22% | Mobile Suit Gundam |
| Blue | 208 | 22% | SD Gundam G Generation ETERNAL |
| White | 202 | 21% | SD Gundam G Generation ETERNAL |
| Red | 184 | 19% | Mobile Suit Gundam SEED |
| Purple | 152 | 16% | Mobile Suit Gundam IRON-BLOODED ORPHANS |
192 cards carry no colour at all, which is normal for resources and tokens.
