Fruits Basket Card Game, scheduled to release in the first quarter of 2006, marks the first time Score Entertainment has ever released a single purchase game. Each deck sells for a suggested retail price of $9.99 and contains 121 cards including a poker deck of 54 cards, a play deck of 53 cards and 14 character cards.

The multiplayer game is based off of the Japanese animation Fruits Basket and the manga, created by Natsuki Takaya. Like in the anime, every member of the Sohma family, even Kyo, represents an animal in the Chinese Zodiac. Tohru is the center of the card game and works with players to befriend members of the Sohma family.

Supposedly you can play traditional card games with this set. At least you can buy the whole chunk of cards. I’d buy a set if the graphics and art were good

But there is a card game the characters themselves play in the manga called “Dai Hin Min/Dai Fugo” (Rich Man Poor Man). Instructions on how to play this and other variations are at Tokypop.
