FAQ
What is the difference between the red and black sets?
Only the back colour differs: red (Aka) or black (Kuro). The front illustrations are identical.
Why does the protective box sometimes show small imperfections?
The sets are genuine vintage items that have been stored for many years. As a result, slight signs of age may appear on the plastic box. The cards themselves are unaffected.
Are replacement protective boxes available?
No, these sets are no longer produced and no spare parts are available.
