Azuki has launched Azuki TCG: Gates Awakened (AZK-01), its inaugural physical trading card game, featuring a 148-card set and booster display boxes priced at $119.99 MSRP. The game offers four elemental starter decks (Lightning, Water, Earth, Fire) at $12.99 each, alongside an innovative resource system using a separate 10-card IKZ deck to improve playability. Azuki has committed $100,000 in prize support for its inaugural competitive season with CoreTCG as its official tournament organizer. Unlike typical blockchain games, the product requires no wallet or crypto knowledge, allowing players to walk into a card shop and play immediately. The project represents a test case for whether an NFT-born intellectual property can successfully evolve into a mainstream physical entertainment brand.
