Every Naruto CCG set in order (2006 to 2013)
Twenty-nine numbered sets, four tournament packs, four tins and a promo pool, listed in release order with the years our archive records, plus the three things about this list that nobody can settle, including when the game actually ended.
Quick answer
Our archive holds 38 entries for Bandai's original Naruto CCG: 29 carrying set numbers, four Tournament Packs, four tins and one promo pool. The retail run starts with The Path to Hokage in 2006 and ends with Ultimate Ninja Storm 3, numbered set 28, dated 2013 in our data. Sources disagree on whether the game stopped in 2012 or May 2013, and on whether the 29th entry, A Shinobis Dream, was ever a real Bandai product.
Bandai's original Naruto CCG ran for roughly seven years, and it has been out of print for over a decade. There is no official set list left to consult: Bandai's current card game title list covers Battle Spirits, Digimon, One Piece, Union Arena, Dragon Ball Super, Gundam and the new NARUTO CARD GAME, and does not mention the 2006 game at all.
So every list you will find, including this one, is a reconstruction. Ours comes
from data/classic-ccg-sets.json, whose own note records that card counts come
from the narutocards.ca fan database and that years for some mid-run sets were
interpolated from the quarterly release cadence. Where it is uncertain, we say
so rather than smoothing it over.

| 19 | Path of Pain | 2010 | 112 |
| 20 | Tales of the Gallant Sage | 2011 | 120 |
| 21 | Shattered Truth | 2011 | 120 |
| 22 | Weapons of War | 2011 | 119 |
| 23 | Invasion | 2011 | 120 |
| 24 | Sage's Legacy | 2012 | 120 |
| 25 | Kage Summit | 2012 | 120 |
| 26 | Avenger's Wrath | 2012 | 120 |
| 27 | Hero's Ascension | 2012 | 132 |
| 28 | Ultimate Ninja Storm 3 | 2013 | 120 |
| 29 | A Shinobis Dream | 2012 | 120 |
The counts above are cards actually catalogued in our card index, 4,487 across all 38 entries, not a claimed set size. Two things to know about them. Our set list file records no card count at all for sets 1 through 9, because the fan database it was drawn from had none; the numbers above come from the card index instead, which does. And our set file's note on Will of Fire calls it "the largest set of the game by card count" at 198, while Foretold Prophecy sits at 216 and Lineage of Legends at 208. Both cannot be true. On our own data, Foretold Prophecy is the largest set, and the note is wrong.
Entry 29 is the awkward one, and not only because its date sits behind the set numbered before it. Some sources describe A Shinobi's Dream as a fan-made set rather than a Bandai release. We have not resolved that, and our archive lists it because our data does.
Tournament packs, tins and promos
The remaining nine entries are not booster sets and do not sit in the numbered sequence. All are dated 2012 in our data.
| Group | Entry | Cards |
|---|---|---|
| Tournament | Tournament Pack 1 | 60 |
| Tournament | Tournament Pack 2 | 64 |
| Tournament | Tournament Pack 3 | 60 |
| Tournament | Tournament Pack 4 | 60 |
| Tin | Rebirth Tin | 6 |
| Tin | Ultimate Battle Tin | 6 |
| Tin | Untouchables Tin | 12 |
| Tin | Fierce Ambitions Tin | 10 |
| Promo | Promo | 106 |
The three eras, using only the years we have
2006: the launch. The Path to Hokage opened the English game and, per our data, arrived in April 2006. Three sets shipped that year, tracking the early manga: the Land of Waves, then the Chunin Exams in Coils of the Snake, then Curse of the Sand. Four more followed through 2007.
2008: the pivot. Lineage of Legends, set 10, is recorded in our data as the last set of the original pre-Shippuden era. Approaching Wind, set 11, is the first Shippuden set, and every set after it stayed there. That split is not decorative. Our site's archive uses it as its era boundary, so sets 1 to 10 sit on one side of the line and 11 onward on the other.
2009 to 2011: the long middle. Four sets a year, most of them between 110 and 220 cards, running through Kakashi Gaiden in Broken Promise, Pain's assault on the Leaf in Path of Pain, and on into the war arc.
2012 to 2013: the end. The last stretch settles into a steady 120-card cadence: Sage's Legacy, Kage Summit, Avenger's Wrath, then Hero's Ascension at 132. Ultimate Ninja Storm 3 (a set named after a video game rather than an arc, which tells you something) closes the numbered run.
When did it actually stop?
Our data dates Ultimate Ninja Storm 3 to 2013 and notes Bandai USA ending the game in May 2013. Other sources put the end in 2012. We have not found a Bandai announcement of either, and there is no surviving official page to check against, so we record both and pick neither. If you see a page stating one of those dates flatly, ask it where the date came from.
A note on spellings
Set names drift between sources. You will see Broken Promises, Shattered Truths, Kage's Summit, Lineage of the Legends and The Dream Legacy in places where our data has the singular or article-free form. We have not verified any of these against printed packaging, so our archive uses the form in our own data throughout, including the URL slugs above. When searching elsewhere, try both.
How to tell which set a card belongs to
The card number does most of the work, because Naruto CCG numbering runs continuously across the whole game, not per set. The letter prefix is the card type and the digits are a running index:
- N: Ninja (2,128 in our index)
- J: Jutsu (1,172)
- M: Mission (1,113)
- C: Client (74)
Plus a PR promo block and a few small runs prefixed NUS, EX and PS.
Because the index runs continuously, a Ninja number alone dates the card. N-001 to N-043 are The Path to Hokage; N-044 to N-084 are Coils of the Snake; N-085 to N-135 are Curse of the Sand; N-344 to N-388 close the pre-Shippuden era in Lineage of Legends; N-389 begins Shippuden in Approaching Wind; and the final numbered set, Ultimate Ninja Storm 3, occupies N-1621 to N-1685.
Which makes one thing about A Shinobis Dream hard to miss. Its cards sit at N-5000 to N-5069, a block far outside the sequence every other set follows. That is an observation about our data, not a verdict on the set's origin, but it is the kind of thing worth knowing before you pay retail-set money for one.
What the cards are worth now
Short version: individually, very little.
Our price pages run on an eBay listing scan: what sellers are asking, not what anyone paid. In our eBay listing scan of July 28, 2026, 752 of the 758 catalogued cards had at least one live listing, and the median asking price across them was $2.49, with the middle half falling between $1.58 and $3.99. Eighty-six percent of cards had a median ask under $5.
Read those as a ceiling. Asking prices sit above completed sales, sometimes far above. A single card in that scan carried a top ask of $499.99 against a median of $7. Anyone quoting you a Naruto CCG "value" without saying whether it is an ask or a sale is quoting the wrong number.
Where value does sit is outside the base pool: sealed boxes and packs, graded copies of the recognisable chase cards, and complete first-edition runs. The per-card figures are on the individual set pages, and the full card index is at /archive/classic-ccg/cards.
And the game that replaced it
None of the above is the Naruto card game currently being announced. Bandai's new NARUTO CARD GAME is a different game with different rules and no shared cards, launching worldwide in Summer 2027. If you arrived here trying to work out which Naruto card line you own, start with is there a Naruto card game, which lays out all five of them side by side.
Frequently asked questions
- How many Naruto CCG sets are there?
- Our archive records 38 entries. Twenty-nine of them carry set numbers, of which 28 form the uncontested retail run from The Path to Hokage to Ultimate Ninja Storm 3; the 29th, A Shinobis Dream, is disputed. The remaining nine are four Tournament Packs, four tins and one promo pool. Counts differ between databases depending on whether starter-exclusive and promo cards are treated as their own sets.
- When did the Naruto CCG end?
- Unresolved. Our data dates the final numbered set, Ultimate Ninja Storm 3, to 2013 and notes Bandai USA ending the game in May 2013; other sources put the shutdown in 2012. We have not found a Bandai document announcing either date, and Bandai's current card-game title list does not mention the old CCG at all, so there is no official page left to check.
- Are 2006 Naruto CCG cards worth anything?
- Most singles are not. In our eBay listing scan of July 28, 2026, the median asking price across 752 catalogued cards with live listings was $2.49, and 86% of cards had a median ask under $5. Those are asking prices, not completed sales. The real figure is lower. Value concentrates in sealed product, graded copies and a handful of chase cards rather than in the base pool.
