Champions of the Force (SWGTCG)

Star Wars Galaxies Trading Card Game: Champions of the Force is an online trading card game released in August 2008, available to both current and former subscribers of the MMORPG Star Wars Galaxies. A free trial is also available for download on the official game website, though it only offers access to the limited content.

Players are able to purchase cards and trade them with each other. The first set includes more than 300 cards, with more sets to be released in the future. Both former and current Galaxies subscribers receive a single 58-card starter deck when they sign up, all active subscribers also receive five free 15-card booster packs per month after that, with the option to purchase more available for all players.

Gameplay
There are four archetypes in the game: Jedi, Rebel, Imperial and Sith. Each archetype has a unique avatar, which represents the player character. A deck cannot contain any cards of a archetype different from the archetype of your avatar. The are however so-called generic cards (like the Tusken card present), which do not belong to any archetype and can be included in any deck.

Other card types include units that can fight alongside your avatar; items, which can be used to give the player avatar various bonuses; tactics, which represents one-time surprise actions in combat; quests, which represents the missions the players undertake to andvance in the game and abilities, which are used to complete the quests.

Important game mechanics include cost, which must be paid to play the card, power that is used to pay the cost, strengh and defense, which are used to resolve the skirmishes, damage, which may be used to deal more damage to the enemy unit, health, which represents how much damage a unit or avatar can take before it is destroyed, and level of abilities, which can be used to complete quests.

Each player has four quests with level numbers of 2, 4, 5 and 6 aside from his main deck, and the quests with the level number of two are played automaticlly at the beginning of the game. At the beginning of his turn if the player has an active ability in play, he can apply it to one of the quests to place tokens on it equal to the ability's level. Whoever player first places a number of tokens equal to quest's level completes the quest and places his quest with the next number in its place. The goal of the game is to complete four quests before your opponent, however the game can also be won by destroying your opponent's avatar first. To prevent that each player can deploy units to one of the quests (your's and your opponent's) that can both raid (attack) opponent's units and avatar and protect your avatar from being attacked.

Game options
The game provides multiple options of gameplay, in both single and multiplayer modes:

Available for all players

 * Tutorial/Demo game – a guide to all basic aspects of the game, which also allows to play as a Jedi vs the Sith AI opponent using either starter or pre-constructed decks. Available for all players.
 * Practice game – a practice match versus human opponent, using either Rebel or Sith starter deck.

Available only to game subscribers

 * Scenarios – story-based matches with AI opponent, who has significantly improved decks. The plot of the scenarios resolves around four avatar characters and their quests to find an ancient Jedi holocron, the Codex of Tython. The Jedi Rachi Sitra and the Rebel Coret Bhan are trying to find the pieces of the artifact, while the Imperial Jeffren Brek and the Sith Namman Cha are trying to find it so as to use it as a weapon. There are Light side and Dark Side campaigns with 20 scenarios total – 5 for each archetype, each has 3 level of difficulty. For completing all scenarios on either medium or hard level the player will receive bonus reward cards.
 * Skirmish – allows players to test their new decks versus AI opponents.
 * Standard game – a basic game versus human opponent.
 * Heroic encounter – in this story-based game mode four players are working together, trying to defeat a single AI opponent with an overpowered deck. The story recreates the Battle of Nym's Factory Compound, resolving around a group of spacers trying to shut down the droid factory overrun by IG-88, who sends Battle Droids and Droidekas to deal with them and ensure the success of his Droid Revolution.
 * Official tournaments – require an entry fee to play, but offer prizes to the winners.
