Fate/Grand Order Card Game
Fate/Grand Order Card Game (Fate/Grand Order カードゲーム) is a broad collector term covering several official Japanese physical-card products based on TYPE-MOON’s Fate/Grand Order mobile RPG. It is not the name of one unified Trading Card Game; instead, the collection includes Fate/Grand Order Arcade cards, Fate/Grand Order Duel figure-and-card sets, Lycee Overture booster products, and Weiß Schwarz expansions based on FGO anime adaptations. Each product line uses its own rules, card backs, rarity system, and deck format, so cards from different systems cannot normally be combined in the same game.
These Japanese card products feature Servants, Masters, Craft Essences, Command Cards, Noble Phantasms, Singularities, Lostbelts, anime scenes, seasonal costumes, and original illustrations connected to the wider Fate universe. Collectors can choose between playable TCG cards, arcade-compatible physical cards, premium foil parallels, stamped-signature designs, promotional cards, and miniature figure sets. Prices vary according to the specific card system, character, rarity, Fatal or foil treatment, product age, condition, distribution method, and release status.
Popular Fate/Grand Order Card Game product types
Because this collection covers several independent game systems, buyers should identify the exact product line before purchasing:
- Fate/Grand Order Arcade Servant Cards: Physical cards printed through Japanese FGO Arcade cabinets. Each card represents a playable Servant and may show the character’s class, rarity, Saint Graph artwork, ascension stage, statistics, and other identifying information.
- Fate/Grand Order Arcade Craft Essence Cards: Equipment-style cards scanned alongside Servant Cards. Craft Essences increase HP or ATK and provide additional abilities when assigned to a Servant in the arcade game.
- Fatal Cards: Holographic versions of FGO Arcade Servant or Craft Essence Cards issued randomly during card printing. Fatal Cards also provide additional HP and ATK benefits when scanned into a playable arcade formation.
- Ascension-Stage Cards: Servants may appear in multiple physical designs corresponding to their different ascension or visual stages. The artwork and Fatal hologram pattern can differ according to the stage shown.
- Arcade-Exclusive Craft Essences: Selected cards use original designs, 3DCG character imagery, anniversary artwork, Bond Craft Essence concepts, Noble Phantasm scenes, or campaign illustrations created specifically for FGO Arcade.
- Fate/Grand Order Duel Sets: Randomized products containing one mini Servant figure together with Command, Status, and Skill Cards. The figures are moved across a printed map while the cards determine combat and special abilities.
- FGO Duel Command Cards: Each Servant uses five Command Cards based on Quick, Arts, and Buster attacks. Three Servants form a combined 15-card Command Deck during play.
- FGO Duel Status Cards: Cards identifying the Servant’s class, cost, rarity, Servant ID, and Command Card configuration.
- FGO Duel Skill Cards: Advanced-rule cards representing the Servant’s abilities. Later retail waves include three Skill Cards with each miniature figure.
- Lycee Overture FGO Booster Packs: Eight-card Japanese booster packs featuring Fate/Grand Order characters within the Lycee Overture TCG system. Cards include Characters, Events, Items, Starter cards, foil parallels, and stamped-signature variants.
- Lycee Overture FGO Booster Boxes: Boxes containing 20 randomized booster packs. Product bonuses may include promotional cards, campaign items, sleeves, or carton-level playmats depending on the release.
- Lycee Overture FGO Starter Decks: Fixed 60-card constructed decks designed for players entering Lycee through Fate/Grand Order. Separate decks accompanied FGO versions 1.0, 2.0, and 3.0.
- Weiß Schwarz FGO Booster Packs: Playable Character, Event, and Climax Cards based primarily on the FGO anime projects Absolute Demonic Front: Babylonia and Divine Realm of the Round Table: Camelot.
- Weiß Schwarz FGO Trial Decks: Ready-to-play 50-card decks designed for the Weiß Schwarz system. Trial Deck+ Babylonia includes Mash, Gilgamesh, Ishtar, Kingu, Merlin, Ana, and other characters from the anime.
- Foil-Stamped Signature Cards: Premium Lycee and Weiß Schwarz parallels may use reproduced signatures from Japanese voice actors or creators. These are printed or foil-stamped designs and should not be described as personally hand-signed cards.
- Promotional Cards: FGO cards distributed through arcade campaigns, anniversaries, tournaments, prerelease events, box bonuses, magazines, exhibitions, store promotions, and official product campaigns.
- Single Cards: Individual Servant, Craft Essence, Fatal, Lycee, Weiß Schwarz, promo, or parallel cards allow collectors to target a specific character or design without purchasing another sealed product.
- Official Card Accessories: Japanese sleeves, deck cases, binders, storage boxes, playmats, acrylic frames, card holders, and other supplies feature Servants and artwork from Fate/Grand Order.
Fate/Grand Order Arcade cards
Fate/Grand Order Arcade is the largest source of official physical FGO cards created specifically for use with a dedicated game system:
- Japanese Arcade Launch: Fate/Grand Order Arcade began operation in Japan on July 26, 2018 as a three-versus-three Heroic Spirit summoning team battle game.
- Physical Card Printing: Summoned Servants and Craft Essences can be printed as physical cards measuring approximately 54 × 86 mm.
- Servant Formations: Players scan Servant Cards and Craft Essences into the arcade cabinet to form a party. Up to three Servants can be selected for a standard formation.
- Multiple Servant Copies: Scanning multiple cards of the same Servant can strengthen Noble Phantasm-related performance within the limits unlocked on the player’s account.
- Multiple Craft Essence Copies: Several copies of the same Craft Essence can be equipped together. Five copies can activate the card’s maximum-limit-break effect when supported by the game.
- Fatal Gameplay Effects: Fatal Cards are not only visual parallels. Scanning them can increase the relevant Servant or Craft Essence HP and ATK bonuses.
- Arcade-Original Designs: The card lineup includes physical designs based on mobile-game artwork as well as anniversary cards, original Craft Essences, arcade-exclusive Servants, campaign cards, Bond-related artwork, and 3DCG designs.
- Completed Servant Lineup: The development team announced in May 2023 that the addition of new Servants had concluded with a total lineup of 120 implemented Servants.
- Current Operating Structure: Beginning in April 2024, the game moved from limited-time event development to permanent content and recurring updates. Grail War, Grand Order, Chaldea Gate, Extra Interlude, summoning, shops, and card printing remained available under this structure.
- Japanese Arcade Requirement: Cards can be collected and displayed internationally, but their full gameplay functions require a compatible Fate/Grand Order Arcade cabinet and player account.

- Tenth Wave: Gilgamesh, Enkidu, Ishtar, Ereshkigal, and Quetzalcoatl were officially announced for a tenth wave planned for winter 2020. However, the official page does not provide a confirmed retail release date, so these products should not be described as released without further evidence.
Each standard FGO Duel product has an official listed price of ¥1,222 and contains one random miniature figure, five Command Cards, one Status Card, and three Skill Cards in later waves.
How Fate/Grand Order Duel is played

Prices may vary depending on product type, rarity, manufacturer, and release status.
Japanese vs English Fate/Grand Order cards
There is no single English-language edition corresponding to every Japanese product included under the Fate/Grand Order Card Game collection. Language availability depends on the specific system:
- FGO Arcade: Physical Servant and Craft Essence Cards are produced for the Japanese arcade game and use Japanese names, information, and machine compatibility.
- No English FGO Arcade Edition: An equivalent English arcade network and complete English physical-card catalog have not been released.
- FGO Duel: The official retail products use Japanese Status and Skill Cards and were created for the Japanese market.
- No Confirmed English FGO Duel Product Line: English fan translations may exist, but they should not be described as officially printed English retail editions.
- Lycee Overture: The Fate/Grand Order 1.0, 2.0, and 3.0 products belong to the Japanese Lycee Overture TCG. A complete official English Lycee Overture line has not been released.
- Weiß Schwarz Japanese Edition: Japanese products include the Babylonia Trial Deck+, Babylonia Booster, and Camelot Booster.
- Weiß Schwarz English Edition: Official English versions of Babylonia and Camelot were released on a separate international schedule.
- Different Pack Configurations: Japanese and English Weiß Schwarz products may use different cards per pack, packs per box, promotional cards, release dates, or regional bonus items.
- No Cross-System Compatibility: An English Weiß Schwarz FGO card cannot be used in Lycee Overture, FGO Duel, or Fate/Grand Order Arcade.
- Original Japanese Presentation: Japanese cards preserve the original Servant names, class terminology, Noble Phantasm names, voice-cast branding, and domestic product packaging.
- Japan-Market Promotions: Japanese arcade campaigns, Lycee events, Bushiroad tournaments, store bonuses, and anniversary products may provide cards unavailable through standard English retail channels.
- Collector Recommendation: Japanese products are the strongest choice for collectors seeking the widest variety of official FGO physical cards, original packaging, Fatal treatments, domestic promotional cards, and Japan-exclusive game systems.
Collectors interested in original Japanese card designs, Fate/Grand Order Arcade Fatal cards, Japanese voice-cast parallels, FGO Duel miniatures, and domestic promotional products may prefer the Japanese releases. Players should first determine which system they intend to use, because FGO Arcade, FGO Duel, Lycee Overture, and Weiß Schwarz each have completely separate rules and product compatibility.
