Cardfight!! Vanguard is a Japanese TCG created in collaboration between Akira Itō (Yu-Gi-Oh! R), Satoshi Nakamura (Duel Masters), and Bushiroad president Takaaki Kidani. This game is published since 2011.
In the game, players "ride" a unit as their Vanguard, which represents them on the board. They may also summon other units as Rear Guards to attack or support. The game is won by doing 6 points of damage to the opponent's Vanguard.
As players attack, they check the top card of their deck for "triggers" which increase power and have other effects, and add these cards to their hand. Triggers can also be revealed when players take damage.
