First released in 1995 The Star Wars Customizable Card game from Decipher came at a time when things like Magic the Gathering showed just how popular this type of gaming was. Over the next several years, the SWCCG game out with a number of releases that went past the basic set and covered a number of properties including Empire Strikes Back, Return of the Jedi and the Phantom Menace. In 2001 Lucasfilm didn’t renew Decipher’s license but it wasn’t the end of the story for this popular game. As we will find out tonight- much like Darth Maul, it just keeps fighting on.

Sam Tashima joins the program to talk about the game and it’s transition from Decipher to a passionate group called the Player’s Committee who keeps the game alive and well and running years beyond the original retail run. We’ll also find out about all the new cards that continually make the gameplay fresh and how you can learn to play yourself and find others in the community to battle against. Plus did you know there are national and international tournaments? Such a great dive into an amazing game.

The show has works like this; we will all take turns asking questions on the episode, that we have not talked about yet. The fun part is often these questions spur some great conversation, and all pressure is off to get the right answer, because, well, that’s why we listen to other podcasts. It’s often fun because, there is a chance one could take another’s question. So you better have a back-up or two, and need to be, as Luke said, ‘ ready for anything.’

There are no points, bonuses or lightning rounds (this time) but as this micro insert series go there will be:

This is a special insert podcast series from The Rebel Base Card. Gregory Cass from @eyeoncanon , along with special guests: Franc Mulder from @MrDaftPrawn on Twitter, and first timer Colby Mead from the ColbyCast Podcast and I will take turns asking questions on Obi-Wan Kenobi Chapter 5: which aired first on Disney+ on Wednesday, June 15th. All of us trade questions and try to figure out just what the heck is going on

The show works like this, Greg, Franc, Colby and I will take turns asking questions that we have not talked about yet, so there is of course a chance we could take another’s question. This round robin format spurs plenty of thought and discussion and we hope you get a lot out of it.

All this, plus the return of the Greg’s List: our lists of podcasts and other media we ingested this week en route to the recording.
