The My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic series was a true cultural phenomenon, and brought the decades-long franchise to a wide variety of new fans, of all ages. Now, the Friendship is Magic era of My Little Pony has arrived on the tabletop, in the form of a new trading card game from Kayou, co-developed in collaboration with Hasbro.

What Is the My Little Pony Card Game?

The My Little Pony Card Game is a TCG (or trading card game) in which players compete to be the first to finish objectives on their story cards. Players have their own decks, comprising adventure, character, item and scene cards, which they can build themselves from their card collection, or use one of the six pre-constructed starter decks that are available to purchase. Booster packs contain 5 cards each, and these can be used to customize pre-constructed decks, or even to build entirely new ones featuring your favorite characters and settings from My Little Pony! There are 68 card types in total, across nine levels of rarity, so there’s plenty to discover for players and card collectors alike.

Where Can I Buy the My Little Pony Card Game?

Booster packs and starter decks are now available to purchase in the US from Gamestop, Best Buy, Barnes & Noble, Target and local, dedicated hobby stores in the US. Starter decks contain a 70 card deck, along with three booster packs.
