can’t wait until these become available!!!
how do i create an account in this site
Would you please re-release the original in living card game format like Fantasy Flight Games? I miss the game and the tournament scene.
If someone could get the license for a reasonable price that would be a good idea.
You can always try to Kickstarter. I would assume the license could be obtained through Funi again and then just get rights from whatever the Italian company is that bought Donruss?
My company is actually in the works of creating a game based off of the DBZ card game. We’re about a month or two from setting up a kickstarter.
Anyone wanna try a skype game? Still got my vegeta DBZ/GT expansion deck and couple others that should be up to kid buu saga cards.
i would do a skype game my skype is Antwonatron
cool, mine is mr.aviatorshadez
Since there are no forums up yet I will throw out this question here… I was thinking about making a regen Namekian using Piccolo’s HT from WGS (Any cards in your discard pile cannot be removed from the game.) I was wondering if the Dying Planet battleground ( Whenever a non-dragon ball card goes to its owner’s discard pile, it is removed from the game instead.) I was wondering if Piccolo’s HT negates that. Thanks for the response and keeping this game alive!!!!
No. Piccolo’s power does not negate Dying Planet anymore than it would negate a card with “Remove From The Game After Use” on it.
Me and my buddy are thinking about making videos of our card battles and posting them just like you guys do. I was wondering if you guys are going to or already have a tab to download our videos so others can see and comment on our builds. I like watching you guys battle and what different cards you guys use. Its amazing all the combos that are still out there. Thanks for bringing me back to 14 yrs old again.
How do I post an article/decklist? I wanna post one for tommy for old time’s sake.
Send it to us as a message on the Facebook group or email it to retrodbzccg@yahoo.com.
Could you use a level 5 Broly. Its from gt packs but has db card back.
Not in Retro events, as it is still a GT card despite it’s backing.
Can you have 2 black groveling drills out at the same time?
I think two (or three) black groveling drills can be in play at the same time because of the “does not interfere with other styled drills” clause. This is the way I play, but I’m not positive if that’s right.
Can anyone point me in the direction of an complete comprehensive rulebook for GT? More than anything, I want to know the specifics of the major changes – drawing cards, going up levels, etc.
Quick question.. Does anybody know Ito use black star 7 to use the power of alt. namek 7.. Does it create a floating effect untill recaptured ????
another quick questions…whats the difference between a battleground and a location? Gohan’s Nimbus Cloud says search your life deck for a “Location” and put into play; The rule book doesn’t differentiate between battlegrounds and locations from what I read. So basically just wandering if I could get a “Battleground” instead of a “Location” with Nimbus Cloud
A battleground is just a plae where a fight took place in the show and a location isn’t. I’m pretty sure they are their own card types and thus you couldn’t take a battleground with Gohan’s Nimbus Cloud.
Battlegrounds and locations are the same thing.
They are kinda the same thing but not really. They are plAyed the same and do the same things but they have a different card type. If a card says to remove a battleground, it would only affect battlegrounds . If a card lets you search for a location, you can only get locations.
BSDB7 copying Alt NDB7 lets you keep the effect even after NDB7 is recaptured. It’s only when BSDB7’s power is used again that the “floating effect” is cancelled.
For Battlegrounds and Locations, there is no real “difference” as far as game mechanics are concerned. But there are card effects that only affect one or the other, and that is enforced. So you couldn’t use Gohan’s Nimbus Cloud to get a Battleground.
Chippy
Or BSDB7 leaves play*
Has anyone actually looked into Kickstarter and trying to begin the project funding to buy rights to start up card production again?
Stay tuned.
Well, if you guys do happen to get a way to do this or do something a little different, let me know. I would like to help if I could somehow. I have a BA in Literature and Linguistics. I am currently pursuing my MA. I am also a system administrator at a corporation in SC. I might be of some use somehow.
Timing rules question: If I use Goku’s Dragonball Quest to search for Dende Dragonball 3, do I get GDQ back in to my hand? Or has GDQ not been discarded yet?
GDQ is discarded when the DB is played but before it is used, so technically it can get scooped by DDB 3. It was one of the original “complaints” about the DDB set since you could abuse juggling GDBQ.
Chippy
Question. When you guys make virtual cards do you just make the image fresh or do you have some program/generator? I kinda wouldn’t mind trying to make one or two myself in spare time and seeing what anyone thinks.
Me thinks it’s Geoff that is getting the images (he helped get the Red Majin Spopovhich’s Bane Drill pic at least). Dunno what tech he is using.
Chippy
Man, I’m having so much difficultly just attempting to get these new forums on this site, I think my next virtual card will be making fun of a Fat Cow… Must… Find… Image…
Fat cow, eh… well, I recall Goku bringing Roshi back a fat chick at the beginning of DB.
Or, if you wanted to stay relevant to DBZ, I guess there’s always fat Gotenks and Veku.
Roshi knows he ain’t too good for a fat girl.
Does Dr. Williow lvl 1&2 effect Dragonball’s?
Date: March 16th, 2013
Time: Noon
Place: AK Comics in Beloit, WI.
Rules: Following all RetroDBZccg.com rulings and erratas. Also all the virtual cards made on Retros site are legal. Proxies are legal, only if its an actual printed out picture. No hand written proxies.
Cost: $10.00
Prizes: Cash- a percentage depending on attendance. Possibly store credit. I might be able to find some league promos for participation. (I’m sure everyone has them but it’s something)
The store has room for 20-25 ( 28 at most) comfortably, so the first 25 people will get seats. I hope we can make this a success.
Please visit the DBZCCG Midwest Championship Series FB page and look under the events tab. Also a live vote is going on to choose the picture for the first place prize (along with some cash money) of an Alternate Art North Kai Sensei. We are also in discussion of adding another day to tournament to make it worth the drive up here. Any questions please pot on the DBZCCG Midwest Championship Series FB page.
ATTENTION PLAYERS FOR THE MARCH EVENT!!!!!!
After playing a considerable amount of games with and against the Baba Personality set, and building decks to specifically tech against her. I have decided to BAN the personality from the march event.
If the retro community gets her balanced before then, she will be unbanned. But due to balancing issues she is banned.
Please refer any questions about this here. Myself, Darryl Fisher, or Shannon Jakul (on the DBZCCG Midwest Championship Series Facebook page) will try to answer these questions about this ruling. Thanks
Hey guys. I have a quick question… I’ve been collecting since 2001. However, I recently purchased packs (about 6 months ago or so) and by some I mean I purchased 150 packs or so. In all of that I got “The Sword of Trunks” I know some cards are attached permanently to personalities, others have limitations. What is the ruling of that card in particular? Can it be discarded or is it permanently attached? Thanks for the help.
-Kerry
If they play a card that removes a non-combat card, then it gets removed. It can’t be discarded while it’s attached though.
I keep clicking this but nothing ever happens.
The forums aren’t up yet. Any update on this guys?
We will have some help working on these tomorrow.
Hey guys, yaimbored here…
Are you guys going to get the forums up anytime soon? If not, would you guys like your own section on http://www.dragonballzocg.com? I can set it up any way you guys like and you can have it redirect from here to there when they click the link.
If you want, shoot me a PM on the site and I can set up whatever you’d like if you want to create your forums there. I’m sure a lot of people that visit here visit there too so i was thinking of just putting it together.
Let me know. Thanks!
Is there anyone in the Plano TX area that plays DBZ? I was a huge player of this game in middle/high school. Since then I’ve gotten into MtG, but I’d love to get back into dbz if there is a group I could join and play with… If so hit me up!
We live in Dallas if u ever want play.
You can join the facebook page as well if you are down for playing online.
How do you play online?
Joshman and Garrett would you guys ever consider doing some sort of mini tournament in the DFW area? I live in Dallas as well (Carrollton specifically) and would also be interested in getting together as a group etc. etc. if you guys are down to play sometime?
We are working on one. This will either take place in Grapevine or at A-Kon.
That’s awesome! Can’t wait to hear more details as they become available.
Does anybody know if there are weekly tournaments in the Dalton GA/ Chattanooga TN area.
There really aren’t that many places that still have tournaments. In the next month there is a tournament in eastern Ohio and 4 tournaments over a weekend in Saint Louis, MO
I live in St. Louis. Where are the tournaments being held?
They are going to be at Diecon in Collinsville. Here is a link to tournament info. http://diecon.com/D13/index.php/events/115-dbz2
If you are in TN, it’s not inconceivable for you to make it up to our events in June in Collinsville, IL.
I’m four hours away. When is it? I haven’t been able to find any info on the event you mentioned?
I’m in Clarksville TN. Been trolling this site reading every article for nearly a year now…. but this is my first comment. lol I’m a huge DBZ fan. I’ve been collecting the card game for years. Never could play because I never new anyone to play with. I collect eveything DBZ. Action figures, cards, VHS/DVD…everything…I love DBZ 😀 Thanks for everything you guys have done to keep the CCG alive! It means allot to me. 🙂
http://diecon.com/D13/index.php/events/115-dbz2
This is the info on the Collinsville, IL tournaments.
Anyone in the Massachusetts area there is a small group of recreational DBZ players who play at the Tabletop Arena in Lowell on Market Street; usually on Sundays.
8 ways are very…interesting!
Any Canadian players still active? I’d love to find a place to play.
I’d like to buy general deck staples from the dbz ccg. I’m willing to pay about $100 for a strong set of staples. (this set wouldn’t include ultra rares of course) Email me at ctsheets@imail.iu.edu if you’d like to work something out.
Still no forums?

New favorite site
Can someone explain to me why Orange Uppercut is limit 1 while way better cards like Red Whiplash and Red Axe Heel kick aren’t.
Can’t explain Axe Heel Kick, but Whiplash at least is “if stopped” rather than “just do it”.
I’d like to see you guys do a top 10 list of highly used cards in the rest of the sagas after androids!
http://www.tradecardsonline.com/im/selectCard/game_id/18
Most cards have their up-to-date errata, plus this site is useful for building decks.
I live in Southern California and I have a large set of cards I would like to sell to anybody interested. I started collecting and playing from Frieza Saga (although I have purchased some singles from Saiyan Saga) and I played until the game disbanded after Kid Buu. On top of that, a local card store was closing and sold a lot of DBZ packs for way under cost which I bought. I have a ton of cards that I would like to sell in bulk. I priced out most of the rares (I had sold the ultra rares already when I opened the packs several years ago) and personalities and it came out to over $750 but I will sell it for whatever is the best offer since I am moving and trying to make space.
If anyone is interested, please email me at jdoctorian@me.com. If you want, I can make a list of the rares or send you pictures of the cards in piles. I work two jobs currently and don’t have too much time to organize everything so I’m willing to part with it for the best offer and if you can pay for shipping.
Let me know if you have any questions! Thanks!
Anyone want to play a game over the video chat on facebook let me know. I found an old Red Buu Beatdown deck from back in the day that was retired undefeated. Really wanna test the waters and see if it is still as strong.
Chop AKA Jason Ryan Allen
any update on the forums?
We are looking in to switching services so we can get our forums up. We have the software purchased (for some time now) but after much trial and tribulation we finally recently discovered that our current hosting situation is unable to support the higher end forum software.
cool , thanks for the update.
Does anyone around here have a battle simulator card/play list (any saga)? I’m working on a webgl program, and i wish to make a battle simulator of the old score dbz ccg.
Hey, was digging through my cards tonight and got hit with a pretty big wave of nostalgia. Loved this game so much – ran tournaments in southern WI and got to play at GenCon before the game was axed. Hard to believe it’s been almost ten years.
Anyway, on another note, I run a web hosting company, http://www.safesharkhosting.com – I’d love to work with you on hosting. This was a game I loved very much (and still do), and people keeping it alive and expanding on it is simply awesome. I included my contact details in the comment, so if you’re looking for a more reliable place to host this site, please drop me a line!
Hey question about Future Gohan!
Ok, so Gohan can use Gohan Only cards and I was curious about cards like Gohan’s Energy Deflection and Icarus that say just “Gohan” for their effects. Could they also effect Future Gohan despite him not being “Gohan”? I’m assuming no.
Meant Future Gohan can use Gohan only Cards.
From what I have read the Future gohan and Gohan are different for everything just like Vegeta and Majin Vegeta.
ATTENTION: I love that this game is still poppin, but I cant get to 2014 Gencon, So I wanna set up a NJ/EAST COAST TOURNAMENT! So my Buddies Piccolo Daimao And FutureTrunks can feed. lol
So how many folks are from this area?
Please join the dbzccgchampionship series facebook page. We run numerous tournaments throughout the year and one or two will be on the east coast this year.
Kool, will do, thanks very much (Im actually sharpening my two decks right now lol)
For the MBS Freestyle Mastery, would I be allowed to have multiple copies of the same drill in play despite them having the same name?
I.E. The swordplay drills or devastation drill?
You could. Even without the mastery, you can have multiples of any freestyle drill in play.
Wow that just seems so broken…..I never even knew about freestyle mastery until i found this site like 2 years ago. I had never played with anyone other than two elementary school friends and we never had a vast amount of cards or any of the really amazing cards.
Thanks for the help!
Have you guys ever thought of remaking a saibamen personality or giving them a special rule to make them ever viable?
Hi everyone, Im looking to restart my collection. I don’t have much but if you guys dont mind pointing me in the right direction that would be greatly appreciated. Im looking to buy booster boxs but if thats not likely i’d like to start buying saga collections. If I can get a deck together in time i’d like to come to the east kai tourny. Thanks!
so yeah i see you guys are trying to bring the game back from the dead or did you get the rights to sell and do things with the dbz from score? i loved this game years ago and sold away all my cards just wanted to knwo if i should hunt down my deck again lol.
Does anyone have a list for a Gohan TS Red? I saw a video of a guy playing the deck and it looked like fun.
I haven’t played since fusion saga was released so I don’t remember all the cards but I’m excited to start playing again!!
Anybody in Colorado Denver area?
I made a dbz card game forum, if you still don’t have one? Email me back if you’re interested.
im looking to buy the second coming broly MP level 1,3,4 the first broly MP level 1,3,4 if anyone has them for sale ill be happy to buy them email me pickledamish@gmail.com
hey does anyone know if you can use the broly cards from the broly :second coming subset beacuse i dont see any of them on the site just wanted to know if they were part of GT or DBZ because they have the DBZ backs not the GT.
Hello, I am new to this game and I’m not quit sure if the tournaments here r online or not. Could someone please tell me where I can find tournaments and players online? Thanks for any help. Sorry if this is a stupid question
I just started a dream card site based off of the various dbz card games. If anyone is interested in checking it out the address is http://dbzdreamcards.weebly.com/
It is very rough and a work in progress.
Well this is certainly a blast from the past.
Anyway it looks like the forums have been a work in progress for the past couple of years. Has there been any new development on that front outside of the news of the current host not being able to support it?
We need forums now more than ever!
When are we gonna get real forums? We need a formal place to discuss things.
Hey, I tried to ask on the card pages themselves, but got no answer that I know of, anyway, considering the old buu saga saiyan style mastery and it’s reprint in paninidbz, my question is, “do these masteries add the “Rasie your anger 1 level. Gain 3 power stages.” to saiyan style attack cards in your life deck and discard pile?”
How soon is soon really?
