About this game
This game is made by Bandai. Usually, card games (カードダス Carddas) are products of the Vendor Division (currently the Card Division), but the Garasaki Mission Director game was the work of the Hobby Division, which handles plastic models.
At the time, this work was an attempt to the concept of the plastic model (プラモデル) to trading card games (トレーディングカードゲーム), and it was developed by an approach completely different from the conventional shipped products. The game is built by individual cards (tactical plates), not a deck.
