Kayou’s My Little Pony Trading Card Game Arrives in the US on May 1
Starting May 1st, friendship, adventure, and pony magic are coming to U.S. game nights! After capturing hearts overseas earlier this year, Kayou’s My Little Pony Trading Card Game: Friendships Begin will finally hit major retailers, including GameStop, Target, Best Buy, Barnes & Noble, and various hobby stores.
Co-developed with Hasbro, the two-player game is inspired by My Little Pojny: Friendship is Magic and blends storytelling with strategic gameplay, making it fun for families new to trading card games while also appealing to avid TCG enthusiasts ages 10 and up.
Two players choose one of six starter decks featuring the Mane 6 (Twilight Sparkle, Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, Rarity, Applejack, and Fluttershy) and go head-to-head, drawing cards and playing clever card combos to move through your pony’s story. The first player to complete their story wins the game.
Like all of Kayou’s collectible trading cards, this TCG is filled with stunning narrative-driven artwork and quality finishes (shimmering foils, embossed textures, and laser etching) that make it as fun to collect as it is to play in competition.
Each starter deck includes a 70-card ready-to-play deck used to create a Main Deck, Scene Deck and Story Deck, and three booster packs with five cards in each pack. Players can collect 68 card types across nine rarity levels, including Shining Ruby Rare (RR) Cards that feature the Mane 6 and their elements of harmony illustrated with vibrant colored pencils and lush oil painting textures; and Shining Emerald Rare (ER) Cards that showcase iconic Equestrian landmarks themed for each of the Mane 6 with exclusive day/night variations.
Fans can collect all six starter decks and mix and match to create their own custom playing decks.
The starter decks just landed at GameStop for $19.99 each, but you can also look out for them at Best Buy, Barnes & Noble, Target and local hobby stores.
