Gold & Silver Karuta Johto

The three printed games are read from the 52poke catalogue photograph of this box front, listed there as product code 668156 variant 3, which prints かるた, ポケモンあつまるかな and かさねてポケモン. The earlier list of karuta, card matching and mole game is the trio printed on the Kanto box 668156-1 and has been withdrawn from this page. The Suruga-ya buyback record that supplied JAN 4901772668565 no longer resolves, and three of the five 668156 boxes are Johto-era, so that JAN is kept here as a cited record and is not used to tell the printings apart. The 45 + 45 physical count is established by the exact boxed set below.

An exact boxed physical set with 22 photographs shows all 45 picture cards together and all 45 reading cards together. The visible kana and printed characters establish this complete map. A separate exact-box record independently matches the packaging and sample cards.

The original Kanto printing and a 2000 kindergarten-magazine supplement use different card art, kana mappings and physical contents. They were excluded. Marketplace photographs were used as research evidence only and were not copied into Hidden Temple.
