Star Wars Customizable Card Game Players Committee

Who We Are

The Star Wars: Customizable Card Game was created by Decipher in 1995. The game was a hit and Decipher continued to release expansions, exploring the events of the original trilogy, as well as Episode I: The Phantom Menace and a few parts of the expanded universe.

In 2001, Decipher lost the rights to make the card game, and were forced to stop printing it. At this point, Decipher worked with Lucasfilm Ltd. to give stewardship of the card game to members of the playing community. This group became the Star Wars: CCG Player’s Committee and they were in charge of cultivating the game now that it was no longer in print.

The Player’s Committee maintained the competitive scene by organizing local, state, regional, and world tournaments. With the cooperation of Decipher and Lucasfilm Ltd., the Player’s Committee also began releasing new cards to the playing community in 2002. These new cards came in the form of new game text boxes and eventually new card names and entire frames that could be printed out and placed over existing cards, giving that card a new name and new capabilities. Since 2001, the Player’s Committee has grown the Star Wars: CCG to great success, releasing multiple expansion sets a year and maintaining a vibrant competitive scene with a loyal playing community.

Since the creation of the Player’s Committee, the Star Wars: CCG has been powered by the playing community. Leaders in charge of the various sections the Player’s Committee have come and gone as life has deemed necessary, and dedicated members of the playing community have risen in their stead. If you are interested in being a part of the Star Wars: CCG by volunteering, please visit our volunteer section.

Beginner's Introduction

The Star Wars: Customizable Card Game is a unique CCG of skill and strategy set within the Star Wars Universe. It is a two player game in which one player plays as the light of the force, and one player plays as the dark side of the force, and the two battle for control over the galaxy and the destruction of the other player.

Cards

All decks are made of 60 cards, and the card pool is divided between light side and dark side cards. Since the inception of the Player’s Committee in 2001, new expansions have come through the form of pdfs containing text slips that are printed out and placed over existing cards. These slips give the card new attributes and game texts. Occasionally these slips will even give the cards new names and card-types. These pdf expansions can be found and downloaded for free in the downloads section of our website.

The Cube

In addition to our standard playing format, which is open deck construction where all cards in the card pool are available for use, we have a popular limited format called “The Cube.” The cube is made of 480 cards, 240 for each side, and is designed for playing groups of four to eight in standard tournament mode or draft mode. For more information about the cube, please visit here or contact this person.
