The history of collectible and trading cards is a long one to say the least. Over the past century and a half, those cards have evolved into the modern tabletop card game (commonly known as TCG). While the predecessor TCG is often considered Magic: The Gathering, other popular TCGs include Yu-Gi-Oh! Trading card game and Pokémon trading card game. Of course, there are many other TCGs played around the world. Japan is no exception with card games based on popular anime series. Among the TCGs based on the anime, there are Weiß Schwarz, Dragon Ball Super Card Game, and One Piece Card Game. But this May, the famous Detective Conan (Meitantei Conan) series will reappear with the new Meitantei Conan card game.

Surprisingly, the Detective Conan Card Game isn’t the Detective Conan series’ first foray into the TCG space. In 1999, Hudson released a short-lived Conan card game called Mischievous Goblin Meitantei Conan. Media Factory also released the card game Meitantei Conan Card Tanteidan in April 2008 with a sequel in December 2008. The game has also appeared in other TCGs such as Future Card Buddyfight and the aforementioned Weiß Schwarz , so the Detective Conan series is no stranger to the TCG adaptation.
While nothing can be said about how the game will play out until everyone gets their hands on the cards, it seems like Aoyama is excited about the new Detective Conan Card Game. Time will tell whether it will outlast previous Detective Conan TCG releases.
