Dragon Ball/Z/GT Cardass
(Bandai)
Cards with BP and DP

These are some written characters on an cardass card which are located beside an reading section. In the set it uses kanji with translations that are related to battle. But on some it uses Z and GT depending on which is DBZ or DBGT.


These are usually shown on top of an Dragonball/Z/GT cardass card and they show descriptions or what the characters are saying. Some examples of what they look like are at the top. They appear on or off colored strips.


These are shown on the cards as readings using BP (Battle Power) or DP (Destroy Power) these readings can range from low to high. above are just some examples of what they look like. They appear with and sometimes without an symbol or kanji. As you can see I only have these cards that have the DP system



Even if those features shows up then even the logo on the card and name of an character,group of characters, or race will show up. These help the reader easily identify the Dragonball character whether he/she understands Japanese.

Here you can find instructions for the Super Battle cardass set of which I mostly collect.
I will have this person who sent me the rules explain it to you...
Sorry that I don't have this person's e-mail address.
But if that person contacts me,
I'd be happy to post the e-mail address.

Here are the instructions on how to play this kind of set

You need two players or more to play.
You also need a good amount of cards.
The object of the game is to have all the cards.
I'm going to explain this as if you and someone else were playing the game.
First, choose who goes first( by flipping a coin,etc.).
Stack the cards into two piles, face down.
The person who goes first says power, fight, or defense.
Both of you put down the top card of your card piles
and see who has the better power, fight or defense.
You look at the front to see the power
and you look at the back of the card to see the fight or defense.
The "fight" is the numbers and the "defense" is then dragonballs.
The person who has the better card takes both cards
and puts them in to his or her own seperate pile.

Super Battle Cardass
(Bandai)




2 player game:
Each player has 5 cards face down and 3 cards in the hand.
The deck must have the same number of cards as the opponent.
On a person's turn he or she flips over one of the cards that are facing down,
then the opponent flips over the card opposite of that.
The Power Level readings are compared
and whoever has the higher (level) is in the lead.
If down, then the opponent flips over the card opposite of that.
The Power Level readings are compared
and whoever has the higher (level) is in the lead.
If you have a card in your hand with
the same Kanji symbol in the top right corner,
as the flip card does, you may bring out that.

So lets say:
Player A flips over a 6 Power Level Gokou 4.
And Player B: Flips over a 11 Power Level Vegeta/Baby card.
Player A takes out a 8 Power Level card
(with the same Kanji symbol as the flip over)
from there hand a uses in combination with the 6 Power Level Gokou 4 card.
That is 14 in total, which beats the 11.
Player B can pull out another card of his own to raise his 11 Power Level card.
And then Player A takes there flipped over card,
the opponents and the other card used to increase the Level,
and puts it in the deck pile.

Credit goes to ? I wonder who sent these to me?

How'd the information hitted me


While I was asking on the Dragonball Z digest
if anyone knew how to play the DBZ card games while that
someone by the name of Gokou 3 of aol replied.

Gokou 3 gave such details for some interesting facts
about these gaming cards I was talking about. Here it is...

Mailed in to me by Gokou3@aol.com

I do not think there is a game for the Amada PP card series.
The Power Level readings on the cards are just there, they have no gaming purpose.
On the other hand, Bandai's Super Battle Card series has a Magic type card playing game.
Super Battle cards read: "POWER LEVEL" in English on the front.
As seen on C-Manns homepage:
http://home.netvigator.com/~cmann/
The rules are listed on the backs of all DBGT Super Battle sets, #17-#20.

For Bandai's Original series cards, the ones with the colored strip at the side,
there is also a game. This card playing game was made in the late 80s early 90s,
when Dragon Ball Cardass first premiered.
The BP (Battle points) for sets 1-9.
Or DP (Destroy Points) for sets 10-30 are used to battle one another.
Sets or as Bandai calls them, "Parts" usually consist of 42-44 cards per set.
DB is Part 1-2
DBZ is Part 3-25
DBGT is 26-30 (as of now)
Bandai has made 80-100 sets of Dragon Ball cards.
Amada has made 35-40 Dragon Ball sets.
There are about 4000-5000 different DB/DBZ/DBGT cards out there.
Other anime series such as: Bishoujo Senshi Sailor Moon, Roroni Kenshin,
Jigoku no Sensei Nubee, Makiboh, Tarchan, Dr. Slump, Slam Dunk,
Yuu Yuu Hakusho, Dragon Quest,
have also had there own Cardass card sets
following Dragon Balls success in trading cards.
Also series such as: Final Fantasy, Chrono Trigger,
Godzilla, Ultraman has sported there own Card series.
