Gundam Card Game Booster Box GD01 – Newtype Rising set sealed display from Game Roost NZ

Discover the Gundam TCG in Auckland at Game Roost

Gundam is a fast-paced TCG by Bandai, built around the mobile suits, pilots, and factions of the Gundam universe. You construct a 50-card main deck alongside a separate 10-card resource deck, then go head-to-head to destroy your opponent’s Base, break through six shields, and land a finishing blow.

What makes it click is the Pilot pairing system. Attach the right Pilot to the right Unit, meet the Link conditions, and your mobile suit can attack the turn it deploys, which changes the tempo of a game completely. Add in Burst effects that fire off when your shields get destroyed, and even losing ground can set up a comeback.

Bandai built a free teaching app that walks you through all of this, so you can learn before you even open a pack. We’ve been running Gundam TCG in Auckland since launch, and the local scene is growing week by week. If you want somewhere to play, trade, and learn, you’ve found it.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I start playing the Gundam TCG?

All you need is a Starter Deck—a ready-to-play 50-card main deck, a 10-card resource deck, tokens, and a rules reference. Once you’ve got the basics down, booster packs come into the picture, allowing you to customise your deck, discover new mobile suits, and chase those alternate-art cards that look absolutely unreal in foil.

We also sell Gundam card game singles through Fetch TCG so that you can grab the extra cards your deck needs.

Are there different formats in the Gundam TCG?

Yes—and it’s one of the things that keeps the game fresh, no matter how many times you play! Standard 1v1 is where most people start: two players, 50-card decks, first to knock out all six shields and land a finishing blow wins.

While 1v1 is the core format, the game can support Team Battle (2v2), where you share a shield area with your partner, and Battle Royale for three or more players with multiple win conditions, including “last pilot standing” and “first to eliminate”

Does your store host Gundam card game events in Auckland?
