Its what is called a collectable card game. Been out since 1993. Was the first trading card game. Think of them as baseball cards for us gaming nerds. Originaly you would play against someone for a prize. usually 1 card pulled at random from the deck of the person you were playing against. Think of marbles in the old days. Well if you were buying this game back and 93 and had some of the original cards in mint condition you could fetch enough money to buy a house. I know I wish I had the cards I bought back in the day again. I bet I sold over $100,000 worth of cards in todays money for $300.
