CARLSBAD, Calif., May 31, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Upper Deck, the worldwide leader in entertainment and sports collectibles and games, today announced the date that the new Neopets Battledome Trading Card Game (TCG) will be available to purchase. The TCG will be available to purchase and play with your community at your local game shop, in the United States and Canada, that is a member of the extensive network of Upper Deck Certified Diamond Dealers beginning June 26, 2024.

The Neopets Battledome trading card game invites players to explore the world of Neopia where the magic of their favorite virtual pets comes to life. Players will immerse themselves in thrilling fast-paced gameplay by combining strategy, limitless creativity and dice battles with the beloved characters from Neopia. Using a deck of Neopets, Faeries, Paint Brushes, Legends, Equipment, Codestones and more, two players will go head-to-head in a best-of-three-round battle to become the champion of the Battledome. Every turn, each player will play cards and roll dice to attack or defend their Neopet in a battle. Starter decks include everything players need to enjoy the game, and booster packs can be added to players’ collections to enhance the gameplay.

“Millennials thrive on nostalgia, and there’s no better way to revisit your youth than with the iconic Neopets brand,” said Jason Masherah, president of Upper Deck. “Our new Neopets Battledome Trading Card Game bridges generations, offering adults a throwback to their favorite childhood characters and younger collectors and gamers an introduction to the exciting magic that Neopia brings.
