Care Bears: Unlock The Magic cards coming via Kickstarter

Those iconic belly badges are coming to cardboard.

A Kickstarter campaign to bring a new Care Bears card game to life was funded within the first hour after its recent launch and there are a number of options for collectors to partake in their celebration of the 1980s toys and now pop culture treasures/icons that have lived on since. It's a first-time card game for the Care Bears franchise.

Naftos and Zoop Games are behind the Care Bears: Unlock The Magic - The Deckbuilding Game with pledges topping $48,000 so far via more than 300 backers after having a goal of only $10,000 when it launched -- there are only a few days left to grab some premium pieces such as an uncut sheet or other pack formats for this exclusive release.

The core game includes 80 Care Bears cards, 60 Adventure Cards, 40 Tokens, a Caring Meter, a folded playmat and an instruction booklet. All that can be built upon with booster packs and boxes that have various tiers and some chase added. Boosters will include a sampling from a lineup that includes 108 cards with Common, Uncommon, Rare and Epic Holofoil cards that will be found just five percent of the time. And only 10 percent of the Holofoils will be Legendary Cards, which will be the rarest chase in this game. See all the details in the gallery below.

Also in this one will be 24-card Character expansion packs with cards all focused on one particular Care Bear (four options), sleeves, binders and playmats for starters -- see all below along with the various tiers, features and options.

According to the company, this one is "a strategy based game for adults, but easy to play for less-experienced players or children. ... There are opportunities for adults to play a challenging, strategy-based game, for kids to learn, parents to educate and for everyone to enjoy themselves. Use the power of caring and sharing to overcome obstacles and help those in need."

The first two tiers of campaign bonuses have been reached, but more goals can yield additional rewards if they are reached before the campaign ends later this week.
