Redakai Championship Tin

Review

NOTE: See our separate reviews for the X-Reader Starter Pack and the Championship Tin.

With incredible holographic imaging, each and every Redakai card has huge WOW power. The animated attack cards are particularly jaw-dropping: whether it’s a spreading trail of ink, a scorpion tail unfolding, or a spinning vortex, the holographic animation on these cards is a fluid motion more akin to a video game than a simple trading card. 

Being plastic, these cards are a lot more durable in a child’s hands than traditional card stock. And most have a number of see-through areas – a feature that’s key to making game-play simple enough that even the youngest fans can actually play a basic version of the Redakai game, instead of just collecting coveted cards.

Tester Feedback

The TV show was awesome, we can use the cards and make believe we are the characters of the show and have attacks like them. I wish all my friends had Redakai cards. Sébastien (M9)

Playing the game with the advanced rules did allow for more strategic playing, but was still pretty basic. The nice aspect of this game was the cards themselves, which are made of dence plastic - and they are 3D, making the gameplay flamboyant and interesting. Zak (M13)

The graphics are amazing and the plastic durability of the cards is impressive - no bent cards or corners of cards like the traditional character cards.  The uniqueness is most definitely in the holographic images and how the attack cards and character cards can fit over one anoher and create movement like features.  Kim Moennick, Parent
