Kayou Three Kingdoms: The Complete Card Checklist

Three years ago I called Kayou Three Kingdoms the most beautiful set I’d ever opened, bought a second box after cracking a single pack, and told you to go do the same. I still stand by every word. What I didn’t have back then — what nobody has ever had — is a single place that lists the whole thing. So I finally sat down and built one.

This covers every card across the first eight boxes, April 2023 through December 2025 — 1,562 cards in all, organized the way the set actually works instead of as one giant undifferentiated pile. That last part matters here more than it did for Marvel Hero Battle, because Three Kingdoms has a real structure hiding under those card codes once you decode the Chinese product data.

Here’s the secret the code letters are keeping: the base “Golden Jade” heroes are split by kingdom. The B-cards are the unaligned warlords (群英), then C is Wei (魏), D is Shu (蜀), and E is Wu (吴) — the three kingdoms themselves. Every one of those factions also gets a scarcer White Jade (白玉) and Green Jade (青玉) parallel, which is where a huge chunk of the card count comes from. On top of that sit the chase tiers everyone’s actually hunting: the serial-numbered Hero cards (the gold-coin /99 stunners), Fleeting Legend, Eternity Moment, and the sprawling 208-card Chapter Story run that walks through the Romance of the Three Kingdoms arc by arc. I grouped and color-coded all of it so you can see at a glance which corner of the set you’re still missing.

I could not have assembled the base data without the community checklist over at FansTradingCards — it’s the most complete box-by-box index of this set anywhere in English, and if this sheet helps you, go give them a look and a thank-you. From there I cross-checked the faction and jade-tier structure against Chinese unboxing coverage and my own card archive here on the site.

A couple of honest caveats, flagged right on the sheet: the card counts and code ranges are confirmed, but the tier names and the Wei/Shu/Wu faction split are my best reading of a set Kayou never officially documented, pieced together from their Chinese product listings. And there’s a brand-new Box 9 that landed just a few weeks ago — it’s too fresh to catalog reliably, so this edition stops at Box 8 and I’ll fold nine into the next revision. If you’ve got a correction or something I missed, drop me an email — this is a living checklist, same as the My Little Pony one I keep updating every season.

And if you’re chasing singles to close out a faction, I keep Three Kingdoms cards listed in my eBay store — every one you grab helps fund the next box break.
