''Star Wars: Customizable Card Game'' (''SW:CCG'') is a customizable card game based on the ''Star Wars'' fictional universe. It was created by Decipher, Inc., which also produced the ''Star Trek Customizable Card Game'' and ''The Lord of the Rings Trading Card Game''. The game was produced from December 1995 until December 2001. Operation and oversight of the game was then taken over by a Decipher created volunteer group called the Star Wars Customizable Card Game Players Committee. To date, the Players Committee, or PC, still runs the game and creates new cards known as "virtual cards" that are released online in PDF format, and can then be printed and played with. You can also play SW:CCG online: Holotable.com is official Player Committee platform. 〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The Holotable - SWCCG online! )〕 ==History== ''Star Wars CCG'' was first released in December 1995 after game play rights were purchased from a game designer. Over the years, Decipher added 11 full expansions to the original card base, as well as numerous smaller expansions, special purpose sets, and promotional releases. The last set, Theed Palace, was offered in the fall of 2001. The game spanned all of the classic Star Wars trilogy (''A New Hope'', ''The Empire Strikes Back'', and ''Return of the Jedi'') as well as ''The Phantom Menace''. During several years of the game's run, between 1995 and 1998, it was a top-selling CCG, second only to ''Magic: The Gathering'' and occasionally surpassing ''Magic'', according to both InQuest and Scrye magazines. At the end of 2001, after much negotiation, Lucasfilm chose not to renew Decipher's license to use the Star Wars intellectual property. The license was granted to Wizards of the Coast, which used it to create their own game, the ''Star Wars Trading Card Game''. Decipher can no longer legally create new expansions to SWCCG; many cards that were in development can never be released to the public. As of 2015, SWCCG still has an active playing community. The game is administered by a Players' Committee, which interprets rules, organizes tournaments, and releases "virtual expansions" which give alternate game text for existing cards. The new "virtual cards" function as entirely new cards and keep the game environment constantly evolving. The "virtual card" overlays are available for free on the Players' Committee website, though players must have the original card to use its "virtual" version. To date, the Players' Committee has produced 8 blocks of virtual sets (over 20 total sets). SWCCG is also available online on Holotable. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Star Wars Customizable Card Game」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
