Card Types and Rarity (2008 Version)[]

The original release of the game includes four different types of cards: warrior, technique, event, and wish.

The technique cards are various attacks that can be used against the opponent in battle, such as the Kamehameha and the Genki Dama (also referred to as the Spirit Bomb). Various events in the series are also used in the game to change the dynamics of a battle. The wish cards are cards based on wishes made in the series that can be used when the seven Dragon Balls are collected.^[2]
