How to Play the One Piece Card Game
Bandai's hit anime TCG plays fast and aggressive. You pick a Leader, build a 50-card deck in their colours, and crash through their Life cards using a separate DON!! resource deck to power your crew.
I Game Objective
Reduce your opponent's Leader Life to 0, then land one more point of damage on the same Leader to win the game.
II Building Your Deck
Deck size
1 Leader card + a 50-card Main deck + a 10-card DON!! deck.
Card types
- Leader
- Your champion. Sits in the Leader area for the whole game and has a Power value, a Life value, and one or more colours that define your deck.
- Character
- Units you play onto the field. Each has a Cost, a Power, and a Counter value used to defend against attacks.
- Event
- One-shot spells with immediate effects. Discarded after use.
- Stage
- Persistent locations played to the Stage area with ongoing effects.
- DON!!
- The resource. DON!! cards are played from your DON!! deck to your Cost area to pay costs, and can be attached to a Leader or Character to give it +1000 Power for the turn.
Deck restrictions
- Maximum 4 copies of any card with the same card number.
- Every card in your Main deck must share at least one colour with your Leader.
- Main deck must be exactly 50 cards. DON!! deck must be exactly 10 cards.
III Setting Up the Game
- Place your Leader face-up in the Leader area.
- Place your 10 DON!! cards face-down in the DON!! deck area.
- Shuffle your Main deck and offer it to your opponent for a cut.
- Determine the first player (rock-paper-scissors is standard).
- Take the top cards of your deck equal to your Leader's Life value and place them face-down as your Life cards.
- Draw 5 cards for your opening hand.
Starting hand
5 cards.
Mulligan
Once per game, before turn 1 begins, you may shuffle your entire starting hand back into your deck and draw 5 fresh cards. You only get one mulligan — keep the second hand.
IV Turn Flow
- Refresh
- Set all your Rested cards back to Active. Return all attached DON!! to your Cost area.
- Draw
- Draw 1 card from your deck. The first player skips this step on turn 1.
- DON!!
- Add 2 DON!! cards from your DON!! deck to your Cost area, Active. The first player only adds 1 DON!! on turn 1.
- Main
- In any order: play Characters/Events/Stages by Resting DON!! to pay their cost, attach DON!! to boost Power, and declare attacks with your Leader or Active Characters against the opposing Leader or Rested Characters.
- End
- Resolve any end-of-turn effects, then pass play to your opponent.
V Good to Know
- When your Leader is attacked, you can discard Counter cards from your hand to add their Counter value to your Leader's Power for that one attack.
- Damage that meets or exceeds your Power flips a Life card into your hand. Once Life is at 0, the next successful attack on your Leader wins the game.
- Characters can't attack the turn they're played unless they have the Rush keyword.
