It was designed by [[w:Richard Garfield|Richard Garfield]]. Its production ran from 1996 through 2001. The ''BattleTech TCG'' featured [[BattleMech]]s, characters, and technology from the original board game, with new artwork done by various artists. Currently, the ''BattleTech TCG'' is [[W:out-of-print|no longer in print]]. The goal of the game is to make your opponent run out of cards from their stockpile (deck of cards). The most basic way of achieving this is to attack your enemy's stockpile with 'Mechs and other units. Each player will need a deck with a maximum of 60 cards. Those decks can consist of any combination of cards the player desires, although when playing with official FASA rules, choosing cards for your deck will be limited, e.g. only cards from one faction/clan. The right assortment of cards can prove vital to victory and is mostly linked to certain tactics. ==Canonicity== Although produced under a valid license, the BattleTech TCG cards have expressly been declared to be not canonical.<ref>In [http://bg.battletech.com/forums/index.php?topic=52501.0 this thread] on the official [[BattleTech Forum]]</ref> As such, appearance on a card or its associated fluff text does not prove that something or someone really exists within the BattleTech universe, or that any events referenced there ever happened. However, as an official licensed product, the cards can be regarded as [[apocryphal]]. == Turn Sequence == The turn sequence is divided into 6 phases, played in the following order. * [[w:List_of_Magic:_The_Gathering_keywords#Tap.2FUntap|Untap]] * Draw * Repair/reload * Deploy * Mission * End of turn During the deploy phase, you will use special command cards (Command Resource) to buy off the costs of units and other command cards like pilots, political personalities and structures. Once they are paid for they are put into play (deployed) and can be used to attack your opponents or gain tactical advantages. While attacking certain targets during a mission, your units can be aided by mission cards (which may be played as an instant) that give them the edge in fighting your enemy and his or her units. == Card Types == * '''Unit''', including 'Mechs, [[battle armor]] and [[Combat Vehicle]]s * '''Command''', including resources, structures and pilots * '''Mission''', as opportunities to influence the combatants == Card Lists == Card Lists By Set: * [[:Category:CCG | All]] * [[:Category:CCG Arsenal | Arsenal]] * [[:Category:CCG CommandersEdition | Commanders Edition]] * [[:Category:CCG Counterstrike | Counterstrike]] * [[:Category:CCG Crusade | Crusade]] * [[:Category:CCG Limited | Limited]] * [[:Category:CCG MechWarrior | MechWarrior]] * [[:Category:CCG Mercenaries | Mercenaries]] * [[:Category:CCG Unlimited | Unlimited]] By Type: * [[:Category:CCG (Command) | Command]] * [[:Category:CCG (Mission) | Mission]] * [[:Category:CCG (Units) | Units]] ==Rules== <div class="gamerules"> ===Box Powers=== The BattleTech trading card game introduced '''box power''' with the release of the ''Commander's Edition''. Box powers were, "....a special ability offered to the user of a deck through its affiliation with a Clan or a House." <ref>''Clan: Rules of Engagement'', p. 48, "Box power": booklet provided with the Clan starter decks</ref><ref>''Inner Sphere: Rules of Engagement'', p. 48, "Box power": booklet provided with the Inner Sphere starter decks</ref> The rule for this ability was printed on the outside of the preconstructed decks for each represented Clan & House. This allowed the player to trade in "useless" cards in the present hand for the referenced ability. The box power was not to be considered "in play" as a card nor was the box something that could be targeted by the opponent or scrapped by the player. Box powers for Clans and Houses without preconstructed decks could be received directly from [[Wizards of the Coast]], the game's publisher.<ref>''Clan: Rules of Engagement'', p. 37, "Box Powers"</ref><ref>''Inner Sphere: Rules of Engagement'', p. 37, "Box Powers"</ref> The accumulated box power rules are provided here. The "tap" symbol proceeded each rule. ====Clan==== ; Ghost Bear (Alshain): Scrap a card from your hand to activate a 'Mech in your Construction Region that is fully constructed.
