What is the Naruto Mythos TCG?
The Naruto Mythos TCG is a trading card game based on the Naruto series, published by Cicaboom, an Italian company. It premiered at the Spiel fair in Essen in October 2025 and launched at retail in Europe and the UK on 13 March 2026 with Set 1, "Konoha Shido". Australia was not part of that first wave: the game is reaching Australian shelves now through official local distribution. Set 1 arrives here as 2nd Edition; Set 2 "Shinobi Shiren" is the first set offered through the game's official Australian distributor in 1st Edition. Booster displays, starter decks and collector chase cards, including numbered Secret Rares and Gold cards, are the core of each set.

Official announcement (re-read 24 Sep 2026) |
4 Sep 2026 |
Set 2 "Shinobi Shiren" 1st Edition booster displays released in Europe and the UK; the publisher's Set 2 announcement calls this the official global release, and its Set 3 announcement says Set 2 is not simultaneous worldwide. The publisher cancelled the planned 28 to 30 August pre-release weekend, and the Special Pack, Design A, moved to a second wave in October, exact date still to be confirmed. The publisher's FAQ for its new territories says the new territories, Australia included, receive Set 2 a few weeks after Europe, and that Special Packs and Team Sets stay exclusive to Europe and the UK until Set 3. When Australian shelves actually have stock varies store by store; the table below is the dated read |

Early 2027 |
Set 3 "Akatsuki", the first Naruto Shippuden set and the first synchronised global release including Australia. The publisher's Set 3 announcement now gives early 2027 for both the pre-release and the release, and its official roadmap lists Set 3 for early 2027. That announcement first listed a 7 November pre-release and 13 November release, and the publisher's dates have moved before (the Set 2 pre-release was cancelled), so treat early 2027 as announced, not final. Australian retailers already list Set 3 preorders |

Calendar honesty line: Cicaboom is a young publisher and its dates and territories have shifted more than once already. Where a date is a window, no firmer date exists, and we would rather show you a gap than a guess.
1st Edition and 2nd Edition, in one paragraph
Set 1, the only completed set so far, printed twice: a 1st Edition at launch, then a stamped 2nd Edition about two months later with different packaging and different Secret and Gold chase cards. The publisher has stated Set 1's 1st Edition will not be reprinted. The publisher says Set 1's 1st Edition was only available in Europe and the UK, which is why Set 2 matters here: it is the first set offered through the game's official Australian distributor in 1st Edition. The publisher's official roadmap says Set 2 will also get a 2nd Edition, with no date given yet. The full story, with every source linked and dated:
Where to buy in Australia: the honest table
This table lists Australian stores we track, competitors included, in alphabetical order, because a reference desk that only shows its own shelf is not a reference desk. Our row plays by exactly the same rules as everyone else's. We would rather you get cards than give up.
How this table works: each cell is read from the store's own public site and stamped with the moment it was checked. Prices shown are in AUD as displayed by the store, GST inclusive, shipping excluded. We have no affiliate or paid relationship with any store listed. A cell is a claim about its stamped moment only. Some store sites block automated reads; their cells say so rather than guessing.

Where our own stock stands: 24 September 2026
Plainly: our Set 2 "Shinobi Shiren" 1st Edition order is placed with the game's official Australian distributor, with their estimated arrival of 30 September 2026, and a small first batch opened for preorder on 21 September 2026. Distributor quantities are only final when the stock leaves the distributor, so we opened part of our order and hold the rest until that quantity is final. If fewer arrive than we have sold, orders are filled in the order they were placed and every order we cannot fill is refunded in full. Each product page shows whether the current batch is still open; the notify-me button on each page emails you if and when a further batch opens.
- Set 2 1st Edition booster display (24 packs): $174.95, open for preorder since 21 September 2026, distributor ETA 30 Sep 2026; the page shows whether the batch is still open. (As at 24 September 2026.)
- Gaara vs Rock Lee starter deck and Kakashi vs Zabuza starter deck: $42.95 each, open for preorder since 21 September 2026, same ETA; each page shows whether its batch is still open. (As at 24 September 2026.)
- Set 3 "Akatsuki": no commitment announced here yet; the distributor's current ETA is 31 March 2027. (As at 20 Sep 2026.)
All three sit on our Naruto Mythos shelf. Want the early word on a further batch? The notify-me button on each product page emails you when it opens; the restock list at the bottom of any product page carries our occasional news across all our lines.

New to the game?
The Naruto Mythos TCG is new to Australia. Start with our edition explainer, the easiest thing to get wrong, then the questions below and the official rules on the publisher's rules page.
Naruto Mythos TCG questions, answered
- Is the Naruto Mythos TCG sold in Australia? Yes. Australia became an official territory in the publisher's 27 May 2026 announcement, and the publisher's site names Ikon Collectables as the game's official distributor for Australia and New Zealand. Set 1 is sold here as 2nd Edition; Set 2 "Shinobi Shiren" comes through Ikon in 1st Edition. The where-to-buy table on this page shows which Australian stores list what, with the date we checked.
- How many cards are in a Naruto Mythos booster box? A booster display, often called a booster box, holds 24 packs of 10 cards: 240 cards across the packs. The publisher's Set 2 collection guide says each box also holds one Chibi card as a box topper; Chibi cards are not found in booster packs.
- What is in a Naruto Mythos booster pack? Ten cards. In Set 2 Shinobi Shiren: 1 Mission card, 4 Commons, 3 Uncommons, 1 Rare, and 1 more card that is a holographic Common or Uncommon or a rarer card (Rare ART, Special, Shinobi, POP, Secret, Secret Variant or Legendary), per the publisher's Set 2 collection guide.
- How many cards are in Set 2 Shinobi Shiren, and where is the card list? Set 2 is a 140-card set numbered 1/140 to 140/140 (55 Commons, 55 Uncommons and 30 Rares), plus 10 Secret cards numbered 141/140 to 150/140, so the publisher's Set 2 collection guide lists 150 cards in the booster collection. Variant versions come on top (Rare ART, Special, Shinobi, Chibi, POP and serial-numbered Secret Variants), along with 10 Mission cards numbered on their own, 3 Legendary Gold cards outside the numbering, and Mythos cards from events and special products. The full checklist is in that guide, a free download on the publisher's collection guide page.
- How many of each serial-numbered Set 2 card exist? Per the publisher's Set 2 collection guide: 3 Legendary Gold cards made with 22-karat gold foil, 1,500 serial-numbered copies of each; 4 POP cards, 300 copies of each; and 4 Secret Variants, 400 copies of each. Four Rare ART cards are also serial-numbered. The guide gives print numbers, not odds per pack. No box is guaranteed to hold one, and we make no claim about what any card is worth.
- Will Set 2 get a 2nd Edition? Yes, according to the publisher's official roadmap, which says Set 2 will be available in both First Edition and Second Edition. It gives no date for the Set 2 2nd Edition.
- How do I tell 1st Edition from 2nd Edition? 1st Edition is a set's launch print. For Set 1, the publisher says 2nd Edition cards carry a distinct "2nd Edition" stamp, 2nd Edition display boxes and booster packs are packaged differently, and the numbered alternate Secret Rares and the Gold cards differ. Our 1st Edition explainer has the detail and the sources.
- Will Set 1 1st Edition be reprinted? No, according to the publisher's FAQ for its new territories: Set 1's 1st Edition "was only available in Europe and the UK and will no longer be reprinted or distributed". Set 1 reaches Australian stores as 2nd Edition.
- Do Set 2 Special Packs and Team Sets come to Australia? Not officially, for now. The publisher's FAQ for its new territories says that until Set 3, Special Packs and Team Sets remain exclusive to Europe and the UK.
- When is Set 3 Akatsuki out in Australia? The publisher's Set 3 announcement gives early 2027 for both the pre-release and the release, its official roadmap lists Set 3 for early 2027, and its FAQ for new territories says 2027. From Set 3, the publisher plans the same release dates in every official territory, Australia included. Its dates have moved before, so check the calendar above for our latest dated read.
- How do you play the Naruto Mythos TCG? Each player brings a deck of at least 30 cards, with no more than 2 copies of any one version of a character, plus 3 Mission cards. A game runs exactly four rounds: you send your ninja to win Missions, and whoever has the most Mission Points after the fourth round wins. The official rulebook is a free download on the publisher's rules page.
- Is this the Bandai Naruto card game, or Kayou? Neither. Bandai's NARUTO CARD GAME is a separate game, announced on 18 June 2026 for a worldwide launch in 2027. Kayou Naruto cards are collectibles, not part of this game. The Naruto Mythos TCG is published by Cicaboom, an Italian company.
