Animal Crossing is getting a new Series 5 set of amiibo cards, including new NPCs and favorite villagers that released alongside Animal Crossing: New Horizons.

These amiibo cards come in packs of six, and the cards you get inside are random, just like trading cards. (Outside of North America, the cards come three to a pack instead of six.)

There are 48 amiibo cards to collect in Series 5, and each pack will have five villagers and one NPC. Because cards you can get are random, you’ll likely need to trade around to complete your collection.

Notably, this pack includes Raymond, Dom, Daisy Mae, Sherb, and other characters that were introduced to New Horizons. It also includes some even fresher faces that joined Animal Crossing: New Horizons after the 2.0 update. This includes characters like Shino, Sasha, and Wardell.

Once you get the amiibo cards, you can invite the characters to have coffee with you in Brewster’s cafe or invite villagers to live on your island, if you have the space.
