Four players of the exchange card game Yu-Gi-Oh! Magic plates: The Gathering cards Collectible card games, CCGs, or trading card games, TCGs or collectible card games are games played with specially designed series of cards. While trading cards have been around for a long time, combine exchange card games and strategy.
The first collectible card game was The Base Ball Card Game, made by Allegheny Card Co. and registered on April 5, 1904. The modern concept of swap card games was first presented in Magic: The Gathering, designed by Richard Garfield and published by Wizards of The Coast in 1993.
A characteristic feature of this kind of game is that players can see cards in addition sets, often with a random selection of cards, which, according to critics, exposes people to a compulsion to buy more cards to increase their chances of winning the cards to acquire. Of course it is also possible to exchange or buy loose cards.
Each swap card game system has a set of basic rules that control the operation of the game. The basic rules describe the goals of the players, the categories of cards used in the game and the way in which cards in the game interact. In addition, all the cards contain additional texts that explain the effect of that particular card. In general, the cards also represent some specific element derived from the game's genre or source material. The maps are illustrated for these source elements, and the game's game function may relate to the subject. Magic: The Gathering, for example, is based on the fantasy genre, so many of the maps represent mythical creatures and magic spells. For example, in the game you have dragons that can fly and have strong statistics compared to smaller creatures.
