The WARS TCG (Trading Card Game) is a trading card game released by Decipher in October 2004 with science fiction themes, using game mechanics from the Star Wars CCG.
This trading card game was significant for a number of reasons. It is Decipher's only card game that isn't based on a licensed property. It also partly aimed at a large, pre-existing target market by using game mechanics modified from the wildly popular Star Wars CCG--a game itself so popular it was the #2 selling trading card game, second only to the original collectible card game Magic: The Gathering, for much of the time between its release in late 1995 and the release of the Pokémon Trading Card Game in 1998.
Its existence was first hinted at in January 2002, shortly after Decipher revealed to the public that it was losing the Lucasfilm license for the Star Wars CCG (SWCCG). In late April 2004, the game was officially announced in a Radio Free Decipher webcast as the spiritual follow-up to SWCCG, and the game immediately attracted massive attention from the hobby industry; for instance, at its public debut at Gencon 2005, an introductory tournament using free demo decks, is still Decipher's best-attended event in its existence.
The first release, Incursion, came on October 6, 2004 and had 330 cards. The second set, Nowhere to Hide, was released on January 7, 2005 and had 167 cards.
From Decipher's April 30, 2004 press release: 'It is Earth-year 2391. Through a vast tear in the fabric of the universe, alien warriors emerge to fight an already embattled humanity. The sky is burning. The Gateless Gate has opened. The cosmic rip meanders like a burning string across the galaxy and slices through the asteroid field near the orbit of Jupiter. The great opening becomes known as, "The Mumon Rift"...'
Humanity has split itself into three factions: Earthers, based around a future Earth administrated by corporations; Gongens, descendants of East Asians living on Mars (renamed Gongen) following a continent-wide nuclear disaster; Mavericks, anarchists in the 'Outer Rims' with penchants for cybernetic replacements. The two alien races are the Quay, a chitinous slave race with tribal tendencies; and the Shi, an advanced race of floating, psychic aliens.
Meanwhile, among all the races, individuals with special abilities began appearing, and are called 'Kizen'. (Taken from Wikipedia.)
