Weiss Schwarz
- Card Game
- Deck Builder, Collectable, Strategy
Weiss Schwarz is a collectable Japanese deck-building card game. The cards are created based on characters from anime series. Fairy Tail, Fate/Stay Night, Love Live!, Steins;Gate, and other series are examples. You can buy packs to find the right cards you need to create your strategy. The objective is to force the other player up to the fourth level (further explained in the game’s playing rules) or at least prevent yourself from reaching the fourth level until your opponent runs out of cards. Each level increase allows you to play stronger characters. It’s similar to Yu-Gi-Oh and Magic: The Gathering, but it’s based on characters from anime.

A video game that combines action and role-playing elements with anime-style graphics.You play as predetermined characters, but you can change their skins and make minor customization to them.
