In Japanime Tactics, you can assemble a team of your favorite Granblue Fantasy characters like Gran and Lyria by combining their ability cards into a deck, then battle your opponent's team on a modular board of interlocking map tiles. Each round, players use their cards to attack and defend with their characters. Any card can be used by any character to provide bonuses for matching colors and action types, but characters can perform powerful unique abilities by using their specific cards. During a battle, each player has a unique objective such as rescuing a hostage or destroying supplies and must use their team to attack their opponents and interact with the terrain to score the most points before all players run out of cards. Japanime Tactics: Granblue Fantasy – Gran Starter Set contains the characters Gran, Lyria, Rackam, and Noa, and it's playable on its own in a simplified 2v2 mode. By combining this set with other Japanime Tactics sets or boosters, you can play the full 4x4 game.
Japanime Tactics: Granblue Fantasy – Gran Starter Set has 3 videos from 3 creators: 1 how-to-play guide, 1 playthrough and 1 unboxing. They date from 2024 to September 2025.
