@RiceRiddler @AzukiTCG should have been me

[Aez ⛩ @RiceRiddler]

Attended @AzukiTCG’s HQ tourney with Set 2 proxies legal, with both Set 1 and Set 2 prizing available.

Lost to both regional champion, the goats YQ and Ducky, and finished 7th. Played Shao into Kaene, overall happy with how I performed.

From the 4 packs I won, I ended up pulling the rarest cards in both Set 1 and 2. Speechless.

Portrait Shao and Color Variant Alt Arashi No Ina.

Still speechless.

@Yq1119apzzQun @RiceRiddler @ZhuFPV @ExpectedValue_ @TheGateIKZ I deserve a metal (card)

[•ᴅɢᴛʟ• @dgtlemissions]

Three goals before the year’s out. I think I can hit 2/3. Hold me accountable.

1. Register for a marathon
2. Post a winning record with Kaene / Tanglehold
3. Pass the judge test

Love this store owner series by @StreetSamuraiGM

Met Joe at Mana and Mochas in September and had a blast teaching the game, meeting his regulars and joining the in-store Jonny card scavenger hunt.

They’re still going strong heading into Fractured Domains. Same goes for GhostedX, who will travel to any game within a 200 mile radius. GGs.

@RiceRiddler @Yq1119apzzQun @ZhuFPV @ExpectedValue_ @TheGateIKZ true, I'm an honorary roommate 🫂

[•ᴅɢᴛʟ• @dgtlemissions]

1. I'm proud of sharing a record with former professional magic and poker player, now app developer @ExpectedValue_
2. @ExpectedValue_ told me all articles on @TheGateIKZ are the alpha and it's the best player resource.
3. I blame @RiceRiddler driving me to book a hotel after he said the airbnb looked like it went through the rushfire gate on turn 5

@IRA_therabbit let's study together

@ZhuFPV last time @Yq1119apzzQun helped me, I ended up being the lone Goro/Devotion player in Peoria. Thanks YQ.

How We’re Building Azuki

I first encountered Pokémon through its cards.

I had just moved to America at 7 and barely spoke English. My neighbor Pablo showed me his Pokémon cards. I didn’t know any of the characters, but I was really drawn to the art. Later, watching those familiar characters come to life in the anime made me a lifelong fan. I collected the cards obsessively.

While writing this, I just remembered that Pablo actually tried to steal my Ninetales one time… but that’s a story for another day

Anyway, I think about this beginning a lot as we build Azuki.

Azuki began in 2022 with illustrated characters released as digital collectibles. What drew me in was the idea that art discovered online could be the beginning of a world. People chose these characters as their online identities, found friends, and built some dope things together.

Today, our main focus is the Azuki trading card game. After launching set 1 in North America, we’re expanding to Latin America and Europe with our second set, Fractured Domains, releasing November 20.

We’re also publishing the AZUKI manga. Arnold Tsang’s story follows Shao’s search for her sister and introduces the Garden, a magical world of relic hunters. Someone you first notice on a card can become a character whose story you want to follow.

The game and manga should deepen each other while standing on their own. You don’t need to own a digital collectible to enjoy either.

Our digital collections remain part of Azuki’s creative identity and community. The people who collected them helped make this work possible, and I want them to recognize themselves in what Azuki becomes.

My job is to keep the team focused and build a business that lets us keep improving the game and telling these stories for a very long time.

When Pablo first showed me those cards, I had no idea how much Pokémon would mean to me decades later. I hope someone discovering Azuki today gets to feel that, too.

PS- keep your Azuki portrait rares in sight. Don’t let a Pablo catch you slacking 😂
