How to Play the Palworld TCG - Souls, Power vs Strike, and How You Actually Win
Bushiroad's Palworld card game launched 30 July 2026, and its comprehensive rules landed the same day. Here is the full walkthrough - the four colours plus colourless, the soul deck, the Power and Strike split that decides every attack, structures and Pal labour, and the Damage Check that turns your own deck into your life total. Everything here is sourced from the official rules, and I flag what Bushiroad has not published.
Palworld TCG Launch Products - Both Trial Decks and Dawn of Palpagos, Compared
Bushiroad put three Palworld TCG products on shelves on 30 July 2026: two trial decks and Booster Pack 01 "Dawn of Palpagos". Both decks cost the same and contain the same 60 cards by count, but the official card list shows they answer a big Pal in completely different ways. Here is every confirmed contents line, a card-by-card read on how each deck actually plays, and an honest note on the two misprints Bushiroad has already owned up to.
Palworld TCG Colours Explained - What Red, Green, Blue and Purple Actually Do
Bushiroad has published comprehensive rules for the Palworld TCG, but it has not published a colour-identity document - there is no official page telling you what Red or Purple is supposed to do. So I read the rules for what colour legally means, then went through all 154 unique cards in the launch pool and counted. Here is what colour actually is, the single hard rule it imposes, why souls make it cheaper than you think, and what the card pool says each colour was built for.
