Looking for where to buy Wakfu TCG cards in France? Want to learn how to play or simply understand this game that has become a collector's item? This complete guide explains everything about the trading card game based on the Wakfu universe, created by Ankama and distributed by Upper Deck.
What is Wakfu TCG?
The Wakfu TCG (Trading Card Game) is a collectible card game released on October 13, 2009, based on the universe of the MMORPG video game and the Wakfu animated series. Developed by Ankama Games and distributed by Upper Deck, the game features strategic battles between the various iconic classes of the World of Twelve.
Unlike other TCGs such as Magic or Yu-Gi-Oh!, Wakfu TCG stands out with its dual victory condition system: you can win either by reducing your opponent's life points to zero, or by accumulating 18 experience points. This unique mechanic delivers dynamic and strategic games.
The Wakfu Universe
Wakfu takes place in the World of Twelve, a fantasy universe created by Ankama. This universe is shared with Dofus (which takes place 1000 years before Wakfu) and has millions of fans worldwide thanks to video games, animated series, and comic books.
The world is populated by 18 unique character classes, each devoted to one of the twelve gods of the Krosmoz. In the Incarnam TCG, four main classes are represented in the starter sets:
- Iop: Brave (some would say reckless) warriors devoted to the god Iop
- Xelor: Masters of time, capable of manipulating clocks and the temporal flow
- Cra: Elite archers with legendary precision
- Feca: Protectors using shields and magical glyphs
History of the game
Wakfu TCG had a relatively short but intense existence:
| Date | Event |
|---|---|
| October 2009 | Launch of the Incarnam set (320 cards) |
| 2010 | Astrub expansion announced |
| December 2011 | Official discontinuation of the game by Ankama |
| December 2012 | Krosmaster Arena replaces Wakfu TCG |
| 2024 | The WTCG Return community brings the game back online |
Ankama explained the discontinuation by the complexity of the rules, which made recruiting new players difficult. However, this same complexity is now what gives the game its appeal for collectors and experienced players.

How to Play Wakfu TCG: The Complete Rules
Wakfu TCG may seem complex at first, but once the basics are mastered, the game reveals an exciting strategic depth. Here are the detailed rules to master the game.
Building your deck
Before playing, each player must build a 50-card deck. Here are the construction rules:
- The deck must contain exactly 50 cards
- Each card can be present in a maximum of 3 copies
- Cards marked "Unique" can only have 1 copy
- The deck must contain 1 Hero card
- The deck must contain 1 Haven Bag card
Card types
Wakfu TCG uses 7 different card types, each with its role:
| Type | Role | Particularity |
|---|---|---|
| Hero | Your main character | Produces resources, can attack, has AP/MP/HP/XP |
| Haven Bag | Your protective base | 15 resistance points, 4 resource slots |
| Allies | Your fighters | Generate resources and fight for you |
| Equipment | Improves your units | Weapons, armor, pets |
| Actions | Single-use spells | Immediate effects then discarded |
| Zones | Persistent terrains | Affect the battlefield (the World) |
| Rooms | Improve the Haven Bag | Add abilities to your base |
The five elements
Each card belongs to one of the 5 elements of the game:
- Fire (red): Aggressive, direct damage
- Water (blue): Control, manipulation
- Earth (green): Defensive, resistance
- Air (yellow): Mobility, evasion
- Neutral (gray): Versatile, compatible with everything
To play a card, you must tap (turn 90°) a number of cards equal to the card's level, including at least one of the same element.
Turn structure
Each turn unfolds in 4 main phases:
Phase 1: Upturn
Untap all your tapped cards. They become available again for this turn. Resolve "start of turn" effects.
Phase 2: Main Phase
This is the heart of the turn. You can, in any order:
- Summon cards from your hand (by paying their cost)
- Move your units between the Haven Bag (rear) and the World (front)
- Activate the powers of your cards
- Declare an attack (only once per turn)
Phase 3: Draw
Note: Unlike most TCGs, you draw at the end of the turn in Wakfu TCG! Draw until you have a number of cards equal to your Action Points (AP).
Phase 4: End of turn
Temporary effects expire. Damage accumulated on creatures is removed (they "heal").
Combat
The combat system is one of the most strategic aspects of the game:
- Declaration: The attacker designates the attacking units and their target (opponent's Hero or Haven Bag)
- Blocking: The defender chooses which units block which attackers
- Action phase: Players alternate playing Actions or activating powers
- Resolution: Combats are resolved simultaneously (duel)
- Damage: Unblocked attackers deal their damage to the target
Victory conditions
You win the game if you fulfill one of these two conditions:
| Victory | Condition | Play style |
|---|---|---|
| By elimination | Reduce the opposing Hero's HP to 0 | Aggressive, direct combat |
| By experience | Accumulate 18 Experience Points | Control, accumulation |
Experience Points are obtained mainly by destroying opposing Allies. This dual victory condition forces each player to balance attack and defense.

The 4 Classes of the Incarnam Starter Sets
The Incarnam starter sets feature four playable classes, each with a distinct play style. Understanding their strengths and weaknesses is essential for choosing your first deck.

| Play style | Aggressive, melee combat |
| Strengths | High damage, sturdy units, devastating charges |
| Weaknesses | Little control, vulnerable to defensive strategies |

Iop Strategy: Attack early and often. Use your mobility spells (Leap, Charge) to surprise the opponent. Aim for victory by elimination rather than by experience.

| Characteristic | Detail |
|---|---|

| Play style | Long-range damage, targeted elimination |
| Strengths | Excellent range, precise shots, ability to avoid combat |
| Weaknesses | Fragile in melee, requires positioning |

Cra Strategy: Keep your distance. Eliminate enemy threats before they reach your Hero. Use your mobility to stay out of range.
Feca: The Impenetrable Shield

| Weaknesses | Limited offense, long games |
| Key cards | Feca Shield, Glyph of Blindness, Earthen Armor |

Check out all the Wakfu cards in stock in our catalog. MizouTCG is one of the few French shops offering new and sealed Wakfu TCG Incarnam starter sets. Our products are authentic, stored in optimal conditions, and shipped quickly throughout France. You can also find used products on marketplaces like Vinted or eBay, but beware of counterfeits and damaged products.
Does Wakfu TCG still exist?
The Wakfu TCG game was officially discontinued by Ankama and Upper Deck in December 2011, after a single expansion (Incarnam). No new edition is planned. However, sealed products remain available from certain specialized retailers like MizouTCG, and an active community continues to play the game via Tabletop Simulator and the WTCG Return project.
What is the difference between Wakfu TCG and Dofus TCG?
Wakfu TCG and Dofus TCG are two distinct card games based on the same Ankama universe. Dofus TCG was released before Wakfu TCG and uses a completely different gameplay system. Both games share the same character classes (Iop, Cra, Xelor, etc.) but are not compatible with each other. Wakfu TCG is generally considered more accessible to beginners thanks to its tutorial DVD and balanced preconstructed decks.
How much is a sealed Wakfu TCG starter set worth?
A sealed Wakfu TCG Incarnam starter set generally sells for between €10 and €25 depending on the condition of the box and the seller. Lots of multiple sets or complete displays can reach higher prices due to their increasing rarity. At MizouTCG, we offer competitive prices with a guarantee of authenticity and careful delivery.
Can you still play Wakfu TCG?
Absolutely! Although the game is no longer produced, the rules remain available (notably on WTCG Return) and the cards are still playable. The starter sets contain everything needed to play with two people immediately. A community of fans maintains forums and organizes online tournaments via Tabletop Simulator.
Do Wakfu TCG cards increase in value?
Like any discontinued TCG, sealed Wakfu TCG products tend to gain value over time. Unopened displays and boosters are particularly sought after by collectors. Starter sets remain more accessible but are also becoming rarer each year. It's the ideal time to build a collection before prices rise further.
Which set is best to start with?
Both sets (Iop VS Xelor and Cra VS Feca) are of excellent quality and perfectly balanced. If you prefer direct action and intense combat, go for Iop VS Xelor. If you like long-range strategies and control, choose Cra VS Feca. The ideal is to have both to discover all the classes!
Are the sets playable without buying anything else?
Yes, absolutely. Each starter set is designed to be self-contained. It includes two complete decks, the playmat, dice, counters, and rules. You can play dozens of games without needing to buy anything else. Boosters are only useful if you want to customize your decks or collect.
