Introduction to Weiβ Schwarz
“Weiβ Schwarz” is the Trading Card Game produced in collaboration with some of the very popular animation/ video game works in Japan.
Players are divided into 2 factions:
The “Weiβ“ side which features mainly 'cute' characters.
And the “Schwarz“ side which features 'cool' characters:
Though the title consists of various kinds of card sets, a carefully planned system and rules makes it possible for players to mix any of them from any side and enjoy the game.

Even if you can't localize Weiβ Schwarz, if you put up depth English tutorials and include sample card images with important text translated, this might work on an even bigger scale. I am going to discuss with my customers about bringing in cards to play in store.
Keep up the good work!
Thank you! ^_^
We try our best to expand to more countries in the world.
However, as we are a very young company, it might take some time to fulfill this dream.
In the meantime, there are very enthusiastic players in the world who are doing a lot of the translations themselves for others to learn about the game. For English, we have:

Do check out their card translations and how to play sections for English guides!

I really do hope this game along with all others arrive in the North American region. Our love for anime is endless and these card games are just so EPIC!! I played a demo of Weiβ Schwarz at Anime Expo and I loved it!
Student
It be amazing if this game out in North America and I played for the first time a few months ago i'm glad they have one english deck but I wish they would make more decks in english
Commoner
I couldn't agree more...
deck in English will catch more player, especially countries with low level Japanese influence.
I'm from Indonesia, and at my country some people said "I don't understand Japanese but I want to play..."
Student
from how I am seeing it, it's more Anime influence. The language barrier is huge, I will admit that. But it's actually quite easy to roll people over after that fact. The other major barrier is "trying to get it" and "finding a community". I mean, anime cons are awesome, but it's only once a year, so that's not perfectly good... But tbh, if you make it, they would probably come, since there might be one lurking around your area
Student
My Weiβ Schwartz Booster Pack (Haruhi Suzumiya,Lucky Star) was signed by my card seller in Kelapa Gading (I'm in Indonesia).
Student
Why Bushiroad doesn't make Busou Renkin Weiβ Schwartz? I really like it and it should be in Schwartz side.> o <
Student
is there like a suggestion box for us to try to get series to enter the WS realm?
No, there is currently no arrangements for overseas players so far...
We'll definitely let the readers here know if the boss decides to do any surveys or feedback sessions! ^_^b

I just recently discovered this game a few days ago, and I can already tell that I'm going to love it!!!
I'm extremely lucky to live quite close to a supplier of the game, and I have access to a website that offers cardsleeve translation inserts, meaning i'm actually able to play and know what I'm doing.
Student
The middle one (the Schwarz side) is Neon Genesis Evangelion! (I know it because of the mecha =P)

My friends and I were introduced to this card game not too long ago. Someone there had purchased a box and was trying to get it to become more popular. My friend is opening a card shop soon and is very interested in having this become a product in the store! :D can't wait to see how others react, I'm thinking good results!

I wonder if you guys gonna open a store in London, England. I've seen how you play the game in youtube. I would love to play it too, plus I know you're releasing the game in November in Japan will the game be also available in London, and Europe?
Lol, unfortunately we are the manufacturers and have no plans to open stores anywhere else in the world at the moment.
Please look out on this site for the latest developments regarding retailers in your area XD
I wonder which game you are referring to as there will be a few that month as well.
Human Being
I found out where I could buy the Weiβ Schwarz cards in London as I got some now and play it with a couple of mates and my little brother. I am referring about Weiβ Schwarz portable on the PSP, will it also come out in England? and if so, when will it come out? Cause I have seen the trailer for the game and really hope that it comes out here.
Ah, the PSP WS game.
As for the release in England, please check with your local retailers if they have any plans to bring in the game.
The game is a joint venture with Bandai Namco games, and there is no current plan for them to market the game personally overseas.
I do hope you will be able to get your hands on a set(or two XD) as it's going to be a really fun game! ^_^v
Human Being
I hope so too, hope there will be a future plan to market the game overseas. :) I'll be buying both sets of Weiβ Schwarz PSP as my brother wants Weiβ set and me the Schwarz set XD
Student
Reckon you could supply a list of all WS/Vanguard dealers in Australia? Having a hard time pinpointing any other dealer in the state of Victoria other than nekocards.
Student

Anyone?
How do you determine what side a series is?
I'm still trying to figure out how Milky Holmes is cool and not cute.
And then using the same logic to figure out Madoka is [going to be] on the cute side.
I guess the individual characters of Madoka are "cute" but then can't the same be said of the milky Holmes crew, (or the IdolM@ster group)?
And if its based on the series plot/story, then definitely cannot see Madoka being on the cute side, I see it being closest to Fate which is on the "cool" side
In general it goes: light novels/visual novels on one side, video games and anime* on the other. They may break that rule so that each side has the same number of sets, but otherwise it fits. Milky Holmes is Bushiroad's own property, so I trust they put it where they needed it.
*obviously excluding video games and anime that are/were visual novels.

I hope this new style of game can be present in English as well. =)
Student
Hello Bushiroad. Why You not try release Weiβ Schwarz to English Language? Because many people need to play Weiβ Schwarz, but not understand Japanese language (Including Me) . Oh, can you try release Weiβ Schwarz Portable to english language too? I watch the trailer and make me to play it so badly @_@. You can use Weiβ Schwarz Portable to introduce this card game to the world!
Student
i mean: I "need" to play Weiβ Schwarz Portable so badly
Card Game Judge http://nlf-cgc.businesscatalyst.com/
I am currently playing Weiss Schwarz Portable. The game is pretty nice. Also, it helps me to understand the WS game mechanics.
