Rangers Strike (レンジャーズストライク Renjāzu Sutoraiku) is a Japanese collectible trading card game developed by Bandai under the Cardass brand. It was released in 2006 in commemoration with the 30th anniversary of Super Sentai.

Originally based on only the Super Sentai series, it has since expanded with several expansion packs such as The Masked Rider Expansion (ザ・マスクドライダーEXP Za Masukudo Raidā EXP) collection in 2007, featuring characters from the Kamen Rider SeriesIcon-crosswiki, and the Special Metal Edition (スペシャルメタルエディション Supesharu Metaru Edishon) in 2008 featuring characters from the Metal Hero SeriesIcon-crosswiki. The new X Gather (クロスギャザー Kurosu Gyazā) expansions also featured characters from Shotaro Ishinomori's other works such as Robocon, Kikaider, and Inazuman.

Game cards[]

There are four rarity categories: Normal, Rare, Super Rare, and Secret Rare. There are three kinds of cards: Unit Cards, Operation Cards, and Vehicle Cards, which were introduced in The Masked Rider Expansion.

  • Unit Cards are divided into four sizes: Small (warriors), Medium (individual mecha), Large (mecha combinations), and Extra Large (mecha carriers).
    • If a Unit Card has a Strike Point mark of "1", it can deliver damage. If it has an SP mark of "!", It can use an attack which is described in the card text. If it has no mark, it cannot Strike.
  • Operation Cards involve Sentai related powers. They can be "Stationary" (the operation is in effect for as long as the card is in use) or "Counter" (can be used during your opponent's turn).
  • Vehicle cards allow small Unit Cards to be "mounted".

Game play[]

To Hold Command (which enables cards of a certain category to be controlled) over a particular category, turn the card to its left side. To Release Command, turn it back.

The play sheet used in this game has a space for the deck, a space for Operation Cards, a "Power Zone", a "Command Zone", a "Rush Area", and a "Battle Area".

In order to Rush a card (bring into the Rush Area), one must Hold Command over a particular category. Each Card requires a certain number of cards in the Power Zone (the face can be up or down) to be Rushed.

Turn phases[]

Each turn is divided into five "Phases".

  • In the Start Phase, you draw one card from your deck.
  • In the Charge Phase, you can place a card in the Power Zone, Hold/Release Command, or even activate an Operation card.
  • In the Rush Phase, you bring a card to the Rush Area (you should be Holding Command over that card's catergory).
  • In the Battle Phase, you bring a card to the Battle Area and attack your opponent. Cards that are bested in Battle Points are considered "struck", and must be removed from the sheet.
  • In the End Phase, you end your turn.
