Redakai is a new media franchise from Spin Masters (Bakugan, Air Hogs, etc.) and Marathon Entertainment (Martin Mystery, Totally Spies, etc.) that encompasses everything from 3D trading cards, action figures, and an animated series launching this fall on YTV (in Canada), and on Cartoon Network (in the US).

Seems this will be the next big thing, though the card game seems overly simplistic. Almost like an evolution of the Bakugan card style.

MTV.com Wrote:Games of the Redakai CCG will be played as 1-on-1 battles, where each player will control up to three characters. Each character is placed in an individual tray, where additional cards with transparent layers can be placed on top as the game progresses. When a character is attacked, a visual effect such as an energy blast or slash mark will overlay right on top of the character’s art. When they eventually transform, the art will be replaced entirely, but transparent layers along the edge will allow for stats and health to progress as the character evolves.

ICv2 Wrote:The most ingenious aspect of RedaKai is the gameplay itself, which is based in part on the proprietary 3-D process used in the cards. Not only do the cards have depth, they also have motion; the attack cards for example have 8-12 frames of animation, so the players can actually see the attack. Additionally many of the cards are created on clear plastic to allow for a simple “stacking†method of gameplay. When for example an attack card is layered over a character card, the effect of the attack is visible, or when a “monster†card is layered over a character card, the change in the character (and his power level) is clearly visible.
