It’s not often a new book series appears and becomes part of the cultural zeitgeist, but Dungeon Crawler Carl has broken through the barrier. If you’re unfamiliar, the adult sci-fi LitRPG, which features role-playing game mechanics in the story, tells the story of Coast Guard veteran Carl and his ex-girlfriend’s cat, Princess Donut, as they try to survive a televised dungeon competition put on by aliens after they destroy human civilization. Pretty heavy stuff, right? Fans of the series are still awaiting the finale, with books 9 and 10 acting as a two-part arc, but in the meantime, Dungeon Crawler Carl has made its way to the collectible card world.

Dungeon Crawler Carl Cards Explained

Although originally promoted as part of a trading card game, the Dungeon Crawler Carl cards have since been marketed as collectibles. Featured in the Series 1 set are 100 different cards, featuring characters and creatures from the series, including crawlers, NPCs, mobs, and Borant Corp officials. There are, of course, Carl and Princess Donut in different variants based on their outfits from Floors 1, 4, and 5, with the cards split across 11 categories. You also have a chance at securing random inserts like sketches, signed variants, foil cards, and green parallels. Check out all 100 cards in Series 1 here.
