Looking to buy Wakfu TCG cards in France? Want to learn 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 trading card game released on October 13, 2009, based on the MMORPG video game and animated series Wakfu universe. Developed by Ankama Games and distributed by Upper Deck, the game offers strategic battles between the various iconic classes of the Monde des Douze.
Unlike other TCGs like Magic or Yu-Gi-Oh!, Wakfu TCG stands out with its dual win condition system: you can win either by reducing the opponent's life points to zero, or by accumulating 18 experience points. This unique mechanic provides dynamic and strategic gameplay.
The Wakfu Universe
Wakfu takes place in the Monde des Douze, a fantasy universe created by Ankama. This universe is shared with Dofus (set 1000 years before Wakfu) and has millions of fans worldwide through 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 TCG Incarnam set, four main classes are represented in the starter boxes:
- Iop: Brave (some would say reckless) warriors devoted to the god Iop
- Xélor: Masters of time capable of manipulating clocks and the temporal flow
- Crâ: Elite archers of legendary precision
- Féca: Protectors using shields and magical glyphs
Game History
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 relaunches the game online |
Ankama explained the discontinuation by the complexity of the rules which made recruiting new players difficult. However, this same complexity now gives the game its charm for experienced collectors and players.

How to Play Wakfu TCG: The Complete Rules
Wakfu TCG may seem complex at first glance, but once the basics are mastered, the game reveals a fascinating strategic depth. Here are the detailed rules for mastering the game.
Building Your Deck
Before playing, each player must build a deck of 50 cards. Here are the construction rules:
- The deck must contain exactly 50 cards
- Each card may be present in maximum 3 copies
- Cards marked "Unique" may only appear in 1 copy
- The deck must mandatorily contain 1 Hero card
- The deck must mandatorily 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 | Improve your units | Weapons, armor, familiars |
| Actions | Single-use spells | Immediate effects then discarded |
| Zones | Persistent terrain | Affect the battlefield (the World) |
| Rooms | Improve the Haven-Bag | Add capabilities to your base |
The Five Elements
Each card belongs to one of the game's 5 elements:
- Fire (red): Aggressive, direct damage
- Water (blue): Control, manipulation
- Earth (green): Defensive, resistance
- Air (yellow): Mobility, evasion
- Neutral (grey): 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 game turn takes place in 4 main phases:
Phase 1: Untap (Upturn)
Untap all your tapped cards. They become available again for this turn. Resolve "at the beginning of the turn" effects.
Phase 2: Main Phase
This is the heart of the turn. You may, in the order of your choice:
- Summon cards from your hand (by paying their cost)
- Move your units between the Haven-Bag (back) and the World (front)
- Activate the powers of your cards
- Declare an attack (only once per turn)
Phase 3: Draw
Important: 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 their attacking units and their target (opponent's Hero or Haven-Bag)
- Blocking: The defender chooses which units block which attackers
- Action Phase: Players alternate to play Actions or activate powers
- Resolution: Combats resolve simultaneously (duel)
- Damage: Unblocked attackers deal their damage to the target
Win Conditions
You win the game if you accomplish one of these two conditions:
| Victory | Condition | Play Style |
|---|---|---|
| By elimination | Reduce the opponent's Hero HP to 0 | Aggressive, direct combat |
| By experience | Accumulate 18 Experience Points | Control, accumulation |
Experience Points are mainly obtained by destroying the opponent's Allies. This dual win condition forces each player to balance attack and defense.

The 4 Classes from Incarnam Starter Boxes
The Incarnam starter boxes offer 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, robust units, devastating charges |
| Weaknesses | Little control, vulnerable to defensive strategies |
| Key cards | Charge, Iop's Wrath, Leap |
Iop Strategy: Attack early and often. Use your mobility spells (Leap, Charge) to surprise your opponent. Aim for victory by elimination rather than experience.

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

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

FAQ – Frequently Asked Questions
Where to Buy Wakfu TCG in France?
Browse all Wakfu cards in stock in our catalogue. MizouTCG is one of the few French shops offering new and sealed Wakfu TCG Incarnam boxes. Our products are authentic, stored in optimal conditions, and shipped quickly throughout France. You can also find second-hand products on marketplaces such as Vinted or eBay, but beware of counterfeits and damaged products.
Does Wakfu TCG Still Exist?
Wakfu TCG 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 specialist 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 game system. The two games share the same character classes (Iop, Crâ, Xélor, etc.) but are not compatible with each other. Wakfu TCG is generally considered more accessible to beginners thanks to its tutorial DVD and balanced pre-built decks.
How Much Is a Sealed Wakfu TCG Box Worth?
A sealed Wakfu TCG Incarnam starter box generally sells for between 10€ and 25€ depending on the condition of the box and the seller. Lots of several boxes or complete displays can reach higher prices due to their growing rarity. At MizouTCG, we offer competitive prices with authenticity guarantee and careful delivery.
Can You Still Play Wakfu TCG?
Absolutely! Although the game is no longer produced, the rules remain available (on WTCG Return in particular) and the cards are still playable. Starter boxes contain everything needed for two people to play immediately. A fan community maintains forums and organises online tournaments via Tabletop Simulator.
Do Wakfu TCG Cards Increase in Value?
Like any discontinued TCG, sealed Wakfu TCG products tend to increase in value over time. Unopened displays and boosters are particularly sought after by collectors. Starter boxes remain more accessible but are also becoming rarer each year. Now is the ideal time to build a collection before prices rise further.
Which Starter Box is Best for Beginners?
Both boxes (Iop VS Xélor and Crâ VS Féca) are of excellent quality and perfectly balanced. If you prefer direct action and intense combat, go for Iop VS Xélor. If you enjoy ranged strategies and control, choose Crâ VS Féca. Ideally, have both to discover all the classes!
Are the Boxes Playable Without Buying Anything Else?
Yes, absolutely. Each starter box is designed to be self-contained. It contains two complete decks, the game mat, dice, counters and rules. You can play dozens of games without needing to buy anything else. Boosters are only useful if you want to customise your decks or collect.
