We’ve been quietly heads-down making something, and today we’ve got two PDFs to share. They do completely different jobs, so we split them on purpose:
- One for players — a beginner-friendly rulebook that teaches you how to actually play Kayou’s My Little Pony TCG.
- One for collectors — a full map of Fantasy Wonderland (BP01): every rarity, every Shining variant, every pull rate, every chase card.
Both are free. Both are pony. Grab one, grab both — whatever matches the mood.
📘 For players — MLP TCG 01: How to Play

If you’ve ever looked at a booster pack of MLP cards and thought “okay, but what is the actual game?” — this is the guide we wrote for you.
It walks through the whole thing from zero: build a team, play cards, complete your pony’s quest across four stages, first to Stage IV wins. A full match runs about 20–30 minutes. If you’ve played any card game before, you’ll have the hang of it by page 5.
What’s inside:
- The one-paragraph version of the rules (seriously, it’s one paragraph)
- A full breakdown of the 70-card deck — Main Deck, Scene Deck, Story Deck, Main Character
- How to read a card (spoiler: only two numbers really matter)
- Step-by-step setup with your 3 lanes and your face-down Plans
- Crossovers for TCG nerds — “Spike’s Translation” panels explain everything in Magic and Pokémon terms
“Every great adventure starts with opening a book — or in this case, a starter deck.” — Twilight Sparkle
If you’re teaching a friend, a partner, or a kid, this is the one to hand them. No jargon, no assumed knowledge, no eighty-page rulebook energy.
✨ For collectors — Fantasy Wonderland (BP01): The Cutie Mark Collector’s Guide

Fantasy Wonderland is Kayou’s first full English booster set — 191 cards across 13 rarity tiers, released April 18, 2026. If you’re pulling packs and trying to figure out what you just opened (or what you’re still chasing), this is the map.
What’s inside:
- Box math. 20 packs, 5 cards each, 100 cards per box. The pack formula for all 20 packs, so you know what to expect before you crack them.
- The rarity ladder. All eight base rarities (C, U, SPR, ER, SR, CR, GR, RR) plus the five Shining (❋) variants layered on top — what each one looks like, how many exist, and why collectors care.
- Pull rates & odds. The full table, straight from Kayou’s published ratios. Shining Ruby is 1 in 640 packs — 1 per 32 boxes. The case chase.
- The twelve Shining chase cards. All six Shining Rubies and all six Shining Colorfuls on one page — pin it to the inside of your binder.
- Harmony math. How many boxes you’d statistically need to complete the full Shining Ruby lineup from sealed product alone. (Answer: ~192. Translation: trade, friend, and prowl the singles market.)
Which one should you grab?
- If you want to play: start with the How to Play guide. Come back for the collector’s side once you’ve played a few rounds.
- If you’re in it for the cards: the Fantasy Wonderland Collector’s Guide is the one. Keep it open on your phone while you sort pulls.
- If you’re both — a player and a collector: grab both. That’s how we use them.
More guides are on the way — a deck-lists breakdown (MLP TCG 02) and the complete-rules appendix (MLP TCG 03) are queued up next. If there’s something you wish existed, tell us. We’re fans first, and we’d rather make the guides you’d actually use.
