What is the Palworld trading card game?
The Palworld trading card game is the official Bushiroad-published card game based on Palworld. Players build a deck of Pal cards, gear and events, capture and deploy Pals to the field, and win by out-tempoing an opponent across short, aggressive turns.

Who makes it
Bushiroad publishes the card game under licence from the Palworld IP. That is what makes printed sets, codes and tournament rules official rather than fan-made.
How a game plays
You deploy Pals, attach gear and structures, and attack. Games are decided by board tempo and resource timing rather than long combo turns, which keeps matches quick.
Card types
Pal cards form your board, gear and structure cards support them, and event-style cards create swings. Soul cards and counters add a layer of reactive play.
Rarities
Base rarities scale up through parallel and chase treatments, with promotional and not-for-sale prints outside the normal pull structure.
Where to start
A Trial Deck is the cheapest legitimate entry: a playable deck out of the box, with boosters added afterwards for upgrades.
