About the game
This is a somewhat self-contained card game produced by Upper Deck (licensed by BanDai) - and it appears to not be the same as the Digimon Collectible Card Game. It uses a place mat system to regulate play, which is used to resolve battle between a series of digital monsters. There are cards to collect, but, unlike most CCGs, you can never have a duplicate card in your deck. The starter deck includes 62 cards and there are booster packs of another 108 cards.
