Description Edit | History

In Star Wars CCG, you take on the role of either the Rebellion or the Empire, and try to deplete your opponent's 'Life Force' by battling him on the ground and in space.

In the Star Wars Customizable Card Game (Star Wars CCG) players can choose from over 3000 different cards to build their own play deck consisting of 60 cards.

The game went out of print in 2001 but an active Player's Committee has kept the game alive through new, free "virtual card" expansions that are released frequently. You can 'customize' your deck by adding or removing cards between games to 'tweak' it!

Each player selects their deck of 60 cards in secret. Cards are arrayed on a flat surface between the two players. Location cards are laid out first and then characters or ships are laid out at the locations. Additional types of cards can be laid out on ships and characters like weapons and objects. The object of the game is to drain your opponents life force. Each card represents one life force. Playing location cards allows you to draw additional life force into your hand. If a ship or character is killed in battle the card goes to a lost pile and when all cards are in your lost pile you have lost the game!

This is a strategy based card game set in the Star Wars universe that can become very addicting. It is a complex game that offers rewarding, strategic play for those who take the time learn from it. Visit SWCCGPC.com for the latest news and to learn how to play.
