Playtest cards

Playtest cards are non-retail Star Wars CCG pieces used while Decipher designed the game, plus later collector copies of those tests. They are not the same object as Reflections Gold playtest stickers (a cancelled 2001 product). English retail cards are 63×88 mm; playtest pieces vary (photocopies, line-art sheets, stickers on white-border stock, early color layouts).

This page inventories the scans in the community MPC print-ready Drive Playtest folder (Lightside / Darkside), linked from r/starwarsccgalters. Category One's 2008 forum thread also posted Dagobah-era playtests (Millennium Falcon, Executor, Emperor).

What the tests show

Several prototype languages never reached retail:

• Influence — a card type that deployed under a character or location (examples: Saturday, Bullseye Womp Rats).
• Sidegame Effect — Dejarik Hologame (#1), a mini-game on the table.
• Special New Category — an unprinted interrupt-stacking piece filed as "grabber" on the Drive.
• Early stat lines used Battle instead of Power, and Force Energy stars instead of Ability.
• Identity lines that later became characteristics (Jedi Knight printed on a Vader test; Dark Knight on an earlier Vader sheet).

Joke and unpublished concepts sit in the same Drive folder (Skywalker Ranch; a Dark-framed Millennium Falcon).
