The anime-based trading card game of battling ninja teams and powerful jutsu lets you control your fave characters from the Naruto TV show in duels with your friends. And, the Curse of the Sand expansion lets the crazy sand-lovin' ninja Gaara hit the Naruto card game full-force with new cards, new powers, new Starter Decks and more.
