Karen (カレン, Karen) is a Craftman-class character card from the Genso Suikoden Card Stories TCG. It is part of the Booster Pack Vol.1 expansion and is numbered 079.

Release Information
This card was first released as card number 079 in the original Starter Box & Booster Pack Vol.1 release with artwork by Futaba Jun. It was exclusive to Booster Pack Vol.1 packs.

It would later receive a Premium Pack version using Suikoden II character artwork from Ishikawa Fumi. Its card text and attributes are identical to the original card. That card is card number 074 of the Premium Pack expansion and card number 331 overall.

This card was later remade for Genso Suikoden Card Stories Chapter II's Remake Booster expansion as CS2-486/R079 with updated artwork and card text to better reflect its abilities and the changes in the game between the original Genso Suikoden Card Stories and Chapter II.

For Genso Suikoden Card Stories Chapter II purposes, its CS2-486/R079 card text is considered an erratum to the card text listed here, regardless of if a player is using the original or remake card in their actual deck. There are no real differences between the different versions of this card in terms of play, however.
