NARUTO CARD GAME at BCG Fest Taipei: December 19 to 20, 2026

As of October 5, 2026, registration for the NARUTO CARD GAME Teaching Session in Taipei is open. The Fest's own site gives the window as September 25 to November 3, 2026, through the BANDAI TCG+ app, with lottery results from November 19.

That is new. On our September 2 check Taipei had no NARUTO CARD GAME page, no dates and no venue, and Bandai's Traditional Chinese site carried a Fest page for Hong Kong S.A.R. only. Bandai's Taipei page is dated 2026.09.04, and the Traditional Chinese Fest announcement now links to it next to Hong Kong. Kuala Lumpur gained its page the same day, which we cover in our news report.

Where and when

Bandai prints the venue name and the address in English on the Chinese page, and the Fest's Taipei page repeats both. Neither names a hall, a floor or a booth.

What Bandai's NARUTO page says, translated

The page is published in Traditional Chinese. What follows is a plain translation of what is on it and nothing more.

Its body says that a large event gathering the titles under BANDAI CARD GAMES will be held in Taipei, that every title will have its own on site activities and merchandise sales, and that Bandai looks forward to enthusiastic participation from players around the world. It links to the Fest's own Taipei site.

Under the heading for event details it gives the dates as December 19 to December 20, 2026, the venue and the address. Under the heading for main activities it lists two items, both printed in English: Pre-Registered Side Event and Teaching Session, behind one "view details" link. A second heading covers goods sold on site, again a heading and a link with no list. A short rules section closes the page: the event will be run according to the game rules, and attendees are asked to check the rules and how to play before taking part, with a link to Bandai's notes regarding official events. The Hong Kong S.A.R. page carries the same section. The Asia English pages do not.

"Teaching Session" is the wording of the Asian pages. Bandai's pages for Orlando and London say "Tutorial Session", and Bandai has not said whether the two differ.

What the linked Fest pages add

The first "view details" link leads to the Fest site's NARUTO CARD GAME page for Taipei, dated 2026.09.25 and also in Traditional Chinese. It lists one pre-registered activity, the Teaching Session, and gives:

• Event dates: December 19 to December 20, 2026
• Registration: September 25 to November 3, 2026
• Lottery results announced: from November 19, 2026
• Commemorative item: CP-001 Chakra Card, with a picture of the card

The registration link goes to BANDAI TCG+. The Fest's pre-registration page for Taipei says advance application is required, that only people drawn in the lottery can take part, and that there is no entry on the day. Applicants must use their own BANDAI TCG+ account, may be asked for ID at reception, and cannot transfer their place. A face photo has to be registered in the app and show as verified during the registration period, and the page warns the review can take a week or longer.

The same page offers an admission only ticket and says it covers only merchandise sales and teaching sessions, not the other pre-registered events. It does not say whether that includes the NARUTO Teaching Session, which has its own registration entry.

The second link leads to the Fest's products page filtered to the NARUTO CARD GAME. One item is listed, under Special Products: the Official Playmat, labelled "Arriving in 2027", contents one playmat, no price. The Fest's giveaway page for Taipei lists an entry giveaway for six titles and none for the NARUTO CARD GAME.

What is still not published

• No session times. No opening hours, start times or session length for either day.
• No capacity for the Teaching Session.
• No prices. No admission price and no price for the playmat.
• No detail on the CP-001 card. The page names it and says prizes and eligibility may change without notice. It does not say who receives one or on what condition.
• No booth, hall or age rules for the NARUTO activity.

Where Taipei sits in the run

Taipei is the latest stop in 2026 with exact dates on the Fest's calendar; Shanghai is listed for December 2026 with no days given. The run goes Jakarta on October 10 to 11, Manila on October 24 to 25, Bangkok on November 21 to 22, Hong Kong S.A.R. on November 28 to 29, Singapore on December 5 to 6, Kuala Lumpur on December 12 to 13 and Taipei on December 19 to 20, then Orlando and London in January 2027. Bandai's NARUTO site now has a page for nine of the eleven cities. Shanghai and Tokyo are the two without one.

The Fest's Taipei page lists the NARUTO CARD GAME alongside Battle Spirits, the DIGIMON CARD GAME, the ONE PIECE CARD GAME, UNION ARENA, the DRAGON BALL SUPER CARD GAME Fusion World and the GUNDAM CARD GAME. The NARUTO CARD GAME does not release until June 2027; three Starter Decks and Booster Pack 01 are announced for June 2027 with no set code, card list or price yet.
