The Club extends late operation hours, from 12PM to 3AM on weekends, and from 12PM to 12AM on weekdays.

The monthly tournaments comprise solo and team categories, while the annual grand tournament will only be open to solo participants. Monthly tournament winners are ranked on leaderboards at the store, which count towards seeding for the grand tournament. Prizes for tournaments will include exclusive tournament kits of special cards and box-sets, which cannot be obtained anywhere else.

“It is a privilege to set up the first Animal Kaiser flagship store outside Japan right here in Singapore. It is specially designed for Animal Kaiser fans to meet up, enjoy the game, trade their cards and take part in our tournaments,” said Yeo Yeok Chuan, Managing Director, Games Credit Asia, who is the owner of all the Animal Kaiser game machines that are currently operated by

Launched in Singapore in June 2009, Animal Kaiser uses real world animals to teach children about the animal kingdom in a fun and enjoyable way, as every animal in the game is based on actual data and facts. There are currently over 200 Animal Kaiser machines in Singapore.

Players scan their “Animal” game-cards to play as their animal avatars in the machine. They can enjoy unbelievable skills when they boost their avatar’s abilities by scanning “Strong” cards and endow them with special attacks by scanning “Miracle” cards. The machine dispenses a card
after each complete session.

Located on the Level 9 of Cathay Cineleisure Orchard, AK Club@E2Max and IAHGames iCafe operate until midnight on Monday to Thursday and until 3AM on Friday to Sunday.
