Information
CS2 Booster Pack Vol.3 is the name given to the third expansion of Genso Suikoden Card Stories II. It was an eclectic mix in terms of theme and featured characters and situations from Suikoden, Suikoden II and Suikoden III, along with preview cards of Suikoden IV, with artwork by several artists.

The set contained 108 cards. It was released on January 29, 2004. 95 cards were character cards (2 Mastermind, 30 Leaders, 23 Commoners, 32 Free, and 8 Craftman cards), with 10 mission cards, and 3 facilities cards rounding out the set.

This set marked the TCG debut of several characters from the original Suikoden. Two new Camps were introduced for these characters - the Scarlet Moon Empire and the Liberation Army. Notably, it also reintroduces the Toran Republic camp from Booster Pack Vol.2.

This set introduced character combination cards where two or more characters were present on a single card. These cards were generally more powerful than their individual counterparts but more limited due to all characters involved still being subject to the Unique Rule.
