SPY x FAMILY Anime Challenges You to Anya-Centric Karuta Card Game

 

How well do you know the wit and wisdom of Anya Forger from SPY x FAMILY? Test your knowledge with a classic card game!

 

Premium Bandai is releasing a set of karuta cards themed to Anya. Karuta, a traditional card game that made it onto anime fans’ radars via the series Chihayafuru, usually challenges players to match lines of classic poetry to cards laid out on a field. This particular deck is iroha-karuta, the simpler version suitable for children and beginners, and consists of 46 cards—one Anya quote and screenshot for each kana character.

 

Check out a few of the cards:

The deck comes with a CD of voice actress Atsume Tanezaki (the voice of Anya) reading off the cards, as well as a bonus postcard featuring art of Anya playing karuta.

 

The deck is now available from Premium Bandai for 6,600 yen.
