Proof we can ship it
We have built a card game simulator before.
Mythos TCG Sim is a separate, playable project from the same team. It handles complete online matches, deck building, replays, AI practice, ranked play, and automated tournaments.
- Complete browser matches
- Deck validation and sharing
- Replays and tournament tools
Simulator plan
What the first builds must do.
Bandai's public overview gives us the deck structure and core card roles. The detailed timing rules and card pool are the next implementation inputs.

No. Bandai's official game overview is live, but the simulator is not playable yet. We are now mapping the published structure into the first implementation.
What is confirmed about gameplay?
Players use a 51-card deck, 5 Chakra cards, and 1 Summon card. The five types are Leader, Character, EX Character, Chakra, and Summon. You win by reducing the opposing Leader's Life to 0.
What is still unknown?
The official overview does not yet include a complete timing reference, full card database, products, prices, or exact release date. We will not guess at those rules.
