A new TCG from the makers of Yu-Gi-Oh! A surprising mix of new and old from Upper Deck, this collectible card game has you using archaeologists, investigators, agents, scientists, and mystical beasts summoned from ancient jewel-like amulets against a shadowy international criminal group known as the Organisation. Based on the CW Americanime, Huntik: Secrets and Seekers has characters from the show, like Lok and Dante, powerful Seekers who can summon a variety of creatures to do battle with the Organisation's army of "Suits". This game uses a unique "Mission Card" format that either pits the players against each other, forces them to work together, or can even accommodate solo play. The main set "Secrets and Seekers" [183 cards] was followed by two expansions; "Legendary Saga" [95 cards] and "Omens and Legacies" [100 cards], each in 9-card boosters, sold in boxes of 24.
