Naruto Mythos TCG: What It Actually Is, and What Lands in Thailand in November

If you follow Naruto news you probably saw the announcement in June 2026: a NARUTO CARD GAME, a worldwide simultaneous release, a key visual, a comment from Masashi Kishimoto himself. That game comes out in 2027.

This article is not about that game.

Naruto Mythos is a separate trading card game, designed by the Italian studio Cicaboom and published by Zvezdar. It already exists, it is already on shelves in Europe, and it is the one Kira Cards is bringing into Thailand. The first chapter, Konoha Shidō, launched on 13 March 2026. The second, Shinobi Shiren, followed on 4 September 2026.

Two Naruto card games sharing a shelf is going to confuse people, so it is worth being blunt. They are unrelated products from different companies. Buying into Mythos today gives you no head start on the 2027 game, and the 2027 game does not make Mythos cards worthless. They are two different things, and only one of them can be bought right now.

Mythos is built around missions. Each round a new mission appears on the field and both players race to complete it. You deploy ninja, you spend Chakra to activate what they do, and you score when you take the mission.

The detail that gives the game its character is the hidden ninja. You can place characters face down and reveal them later, so an opponent looking at your board does not know what is actually on it. Emptying your hand to win one round is usually how you lose the next.

Standard, Draft and Sealed are all supported. A deck is built around a village and a team rather than around a colour, so a Leaf Village deck and a Sand Village deck do not play the same way.

None of it is complicated. The starter pack exists so you can open it, read two pages, and play.

The base set is 140 cards across ten rarities, four of which are new here, and Shinobi Shiren introduces a card type of its own, the Attachment, with 32 of them. Add the secrets, variants, chibi, gold and mission cards on top and the full checklist comes to 217.

A booster pack holds 10 cards, and the distribution is fixed rather than random:

• 4 Common
• 3 Uncommon
• 1 Mission card
• 1 guaranteed holographic card
• 1 Rare or better

A 1st Edition display holds 24 packs, which is 240 cards.

The four new rarities are where it gets interesting. Special is ten full-art versions of selected Rare cards. Shinobi is ten cards built on the duels of the Chunin Exams, marked with a Crown icon. POP is four designs, each printed in 300 individually serialised copies on lenticular stock. Chibi is ten cards that are not in the packs at all: one sits on top of every display as a box topper, and the rest are handed out at official events.

Above all of them sit three Legendary cards, printed with genuine 22-karat gold leaf.

Two of those rarities should decide what you buy. Chibi only comes on top of a display, one per box. Shinobi only comes in starter packs and team sets, never in a booster. Neither product covers the set on its own.

Everything in our first order is 1st Edition, stamped as such on every card.

What that is worth becomes clearer from how the publisher handled the first chapter. Konoha Shidō got a 2nd Edition in June 2026, and it was not a straight reprint: its own stamp, different packaging, different serialised Secret Rare cards, two different Gold cards, and the publisher said it would be limited too. A later edition therefore does not bring the 1st Edition chase cards back. It puts different ones in their place.

Whether that translates into resale value in Thailand is a different question and we are not going to pretend to know the answer. What it does mean is practical: if you want 1st Edition specifically, the window for buying it sealed at retail closes when the print run sells through, not when we decide to restock.

The first Kira Cards order is deliberately small. Four references:

• The 24-pack 1st Edition booster display
• The Gaara vs Rock Lee starter pack: four boosters, two promo cards and an oversized card
• The Kakashi vs Zabuza starter pack, the second one in the set
• The Team Set: three boosters and one exclusive promo card

Everything lands in the second half of November 2026 and shows as coming soon until it is on the shelf in Patong.

Now the honest part. Pokemon and One Piece sell here because Thailand already has a base of players and collectors for both. Naruto Mythos has no such base yet. We genuinely do not know whether there are twenty people in Phuket who want this or two hundred. So we ordered a first batch rather than a pallet, and whether a second one follows depends entirely on what happens to the first.

That is not a sales line. It is just how a small shop decides what to put on a shelf.

If you want to play, the starter pack. It is the smallest purchase, it opens into something playable straight away, and it carries the Shinobi rarity you cannot pull from boosters.

If you want to open packs without committing to a display, the Team Set. Three boosters, one exclusive promo card, and the same Shinobi rarity the starter packs carry.

If you are collecting and the gold Legendaries are the point, the 24-pack display. There are only three of them in the whole set, so a single display is not a sensible way to chase one. Buy it because you want 240 cards of the set in one go and the Chibi box topper that comes with it, not because you expect the gold card.

Prices in Thai baht go on each product page once the shipment is confirmed. Delivery covers all 77 provinces at a flat ฿60, free over ฿5,000, or you can collect in the Patong store.
