What Is UNION ARENA?
UNION ARENA is a crossover trading card game (TCG) developed by Bandai that lets players build decks using characters from a wide range of popular anime, manga, and gaming franchises. It combines accessible, easy-to-learn gameplay with high-quality collectible cards featuring officially licensed, exclusive artwork.
Unlike traditional trading card games that keep franchises separated, UNION ARENA uses a unified battle system. Different universes can clash, which makes it easy for newcomers to jump in and gives collectors a chance to own cards featuring their favorite characters.
The game has rapidly expanded its catalog with titles from some of the biggest names in anime, and The 100 Girlfriends joined the English lineup with this set.
