Manga and collectible card game aficionados have a lot to look forward to this spring in Paris! From March 15, the French capital will welcome the first official One Piece Card Game pop-up store in Europe, nestled on level -3 of the Westfield Forum des Halles shopping center, 101 Porte Berger. This initiative by Bandai Namco Amusement Europe celebrates one of the most emblematic mangas of our time, offering fans an unprecedented immersion in the world of their favorite pirates.
The ephemeral space dedicated to One Piece Card Game is not only a first outside the UK, but also a genuine invitation for fans to immerse themselves in the playful experience of the card game. Just in time for the introduction of the new Wings of the Captain booster pack [OP-06], visitors will be able to add to their collections, swap cards and compete in epic duels from March 15. The choice of Paris for this inauguration is not insignificant, as the city is renowned for its vibrant community of One Piece fans, eager to experience this physical and interactive adventure.
"We've been looking forward to the opening of the official ONE PIECE CARD GAME pop-up store on the other side of the Channel, as France has so many passionate fans of the franchise," explains Rob Cook, Director of Locations Based Operations at Bandai Namco Amusement Europe. He continues:"We wanted to offer a physical space where ONE PIECE fans can meet, collect, swap cards and play matches for a fun and memorable experience".
Following the success of the stores in the UK, this new stop in Paris aims to strengthen the link between European fans and the world of the card game. As well as discovering the latest releases, visitors will be able to take part in exclusive events, creating lasting memories around their shared passion.
