NARUTO CARD GAME Demos at SPIEL Essen, Paris Games Week and Lucca (October 2026)

Registration was first-come, first-served and opened on Wednesday, October 14 (2026):

• SPIEL Essen and Paris Games Week: 06:00 PM CET, via an online shop
• Lucca Comics & Games: 11:00 AM CEST, via TCG+

Players may register for a maximum of one event, and only one tutorial session may be played per show. Attempts to get around the limit lead to exclusion from all demo events.

Gifts: CP-001 Chakra Card and Logo Sticker

Tutorial Session participants receive a CP-001 Chakra Card. At Lucca they also get a Logo Sticker. Gifts require registration to the 'NARUTO TCG UPDATES CHANNEL' on TCG+ and a post-session survey, and are limited to one per person.

At SPIEL Essen and Paris Games Week, a free Logo Sticker is also given for following any official social media channel or registering for that channel on BANDAI TCG+.

NARUTO CARD GAME Official Playmat: $35 at the Shows

The Official Playmat, arriving in 2027, has an MSRP of $35 (+tax) at the three shows. It is limited to one per person and to limited daily quantities.

At SPIEL Essen and Paris Games Week, only Tutorial Session participants can buy one, and eligibility is valid only on the day of their session.

At Lucca, purchase tickets reserve an on-site time slot and are released one week before each event day. Wednesday, October 28 tickets, for example, were released from Wednesday, October 21. Each player may reserve one playmat.
