I want to try playing the SKET DANCE TCG

Released on Friday, October 28, 2011
SKET DANCE CCG
・First Booster Pack
・Pre-constructed Starter Deck

Back then, I was just a little kid, so I had no idea that a SKET DANCE TCG had even been released.
As of 2025, I suddenly want to try playing it.


However...
It's surprisingly hard to get a hold of...
Is there no choice but to give up...

→ No, I can just make it myself.

So, I'm going to try making it myself.



What kind of game is the SKET DANCE CCG?

Perhaps because there were few players, this game wasn't released after the first set, and there is basically no information about it on the internet.

Even the official website treats it as if it never existed. It's not listed anywhere.
It's impossible to even find it.

When that happens, use the Wayback Machine (in the style of a Goodday commercial)

I'm going to use that to look into it.

Simply put, the Wayback Machine is a site that saves past websites from the web.
If you copy and paste the URL of the game production company (Broccoli Co., Ltd.) into the Wayback Machine,

and go back in time...

Oh! This is it!

Now, let's check the rules and card types right away!



Rules?


~Checking the rules~

Hmm, reading through it, I think it's something like this~

  • 40-card deck, up to 3 of the same card (though 4 for leader cards only)

  • Get Sket Points by successfully attacking. Win by getting 30 points.

  • Summon character cards
    Evolve characters with link cards
    Event cards are like spells in Duel Masters


The rules themselves don't seem that difficult.
Is it something like Lorcana in recent terms? (Though I've never played Lorcana)

Next, let's take a look at the cards, shall we?


Cards

The illustrations seem to be taken directly from the anime for the most part.
It looks like there are also some original illustrations and some drawn by authors of other works.


And what surprised me most was that the card names are taken from lines of dialogue!
I wonder if they thought that using character names would lead to too many duplicates.

I'm not very familiar with other TCGs, but I've never seen this type before.


The boosters are centered around famous characters. I wonder if they had plans to make Student Council decks or Hyperion decks later on.


As for the starter decks, I couldn't confirm the contents.
They weren't attached to the card list. A pity.
(Maybe I could find them if I searched diligently on sites like Surugaya?)


I'd love for Witch Watch to have a card game too,
well, I guess it would come out in Union Arena these days.
(Hmm? Is there a possibility that SKET DANCE could come out in Union Arena too?)



Creation

Since I've gathered most of the information, I'm going to start making a template for the cards.
When I asked ChatGPT, it recommended an app called "Canva," so I'll use that.

It seems like you can also make PowerPoint presentations and such.
Well then, I'll get to work on it steadily.


~In progress~

There, it's done

This is nice. It's perfect.
The production time took about 2 hours, I'd say. Though I slacked off a bit in the middle.

I'm thinking I'd prefer the original manga art for the illustrations.


This app is pretty good.
It's relatively intuitive to operate, and I think I can use it for other purposes too.


End

If I can make more cards, I'd like to try playing against an acquaintance. I'd also like to write about my impressions of the gameplay.

There are other things related to SKET DANCE that I'm thinking of making, so I hope I can share them.


Well then, I'll close with that line.
Please say, "Who are you?"

SKET-dan-s
Just Kidding.
