Start here: what to buy first

Bandai's advice is to start with a ready-to-play deck, then add packs (Bandai). Both picks below come with everything you need to play by the official rules.

For two playersSet Sail Deck Set [SD-01]$24.99
Two ready-to-play decks, Luffy and Ace, with a two-player playsheet, two guide books, two deck cases and an OP-17 pack. Out since September 18, 2026 (Bandai). Some online shops list it at about double; look for $24.99.
For one playerStarter Deck [ST-31 to ST-36]$11.99 each
A 51-card deck with its leader, 10 DON!! cards, a playsheet and an OP-16 pack. Six to choose from, out July 31, 2026; ST-31 Red Luffy is a common first pick (Bandai).

Packs are $4.99 each (Bandai), and a booster box holds 24 (PHD Games). Both decks above already include a pack, so there's no rush to buy more until you know which colors you like.

Learn free before you spend

The Teaching App is free on phones and in a web browser: a tutorial mode and practice games against the computer (Bandai).
Pirates Party events at local game stores are made for anyone to join, including first-timers; each store sets its own entry fee (Bandai). The Bandai TCG+ app finds stores near you.

Bandai sells some booster boxes on Premium Bandai by "Chance to Buy" drawing: you enter, and winners get a short window to buy. It has run one for its recent booster boxes, such as OP-17 (Premium Bandai), and our Windows page tracks them. Most boxes are sold through game stores, and older boxes have tended to climb in price; see why One Piece boxes cost so much.

Where you can buy at the box price right now

We count two things as a real chance to pay the price on the box (MSRP):

A fair price at a vetted shop

A shop we've vetted sells it at MSRP, or a little over it: up to 5% or $10 over, whichever is more, and never more than a quarter over. That's the rule on our Deals page, the same for every product.

An open line at the official seller

A queue, drawing, invitation or pre-order that's open now at a store that sells it officially.

Right now

See what's at a fair price on Deals and what's open on Windows. Both update through the day.

If nothing qualifies today, that's common for One Piece: few new boxes stay at MSRP for long. Pre-ordering at a local game store, at the box price, is often the surest way, and the drawings above are worth entering.

Get an alert when you can act

For One Piece, our free email alerts come only when a queue, drawing, invitation or pre-order is open right now at a store that sells it officially, with the store's own link first (how they work). Pick One Piece when you sign up below.

Drawings are the main line for One Piece boxes. An alert comes when entry opens, so you can enter with time to spare.
