Rulebooks

From SWCCG Wiki
Jump to navigation Jump to search

Rulebooks are the rules documents for Star Wars CCG across every era this wiki covers. Decipher published rule booklets, a Glossary, a Glossary Supplement, and expansion rulesheets. The Players Committee later published a 2003 Rules Supplement, Advanced Rulebook 1.7.1 for Virtual Original, Advanced Rulebook 2.0 for Virtual Legacy, and the current Advanced Rulebook for Virtual Modern play.

This wiki supports playing all eras - Decipher constructed, Original Virtual, Legacy Virtual (pre-2014 Reset), and current Virtual / Players Committee tournament play. Use the chronological bands below to pick the rules document that matches the cards and format you are playing.

The tables below link each document's wiki transcription and PDF.[1][2]

1. Decipher

Core printed rules and expansion rulesheets from Decipher (1995-2001). No Players Committee modifications.[1]

Decipher core documents

These three are the last widely used Decipher core rules. Glossary 2.0 told players to discard all rules documents dated before November 1998. The Glossary Supplement is the later official companion (Decipher called it the CRD companion to Glossary 2.0).

A Spanish-language Premiere Two-Player booklet was prepared for a Spanish SWCCG release that was later cancelled: Spanish Premiere Two-Player Game rules booklet (PDF). Language editions are on Translations of SWCCG.

2. Original Virtual

Era hub: Virtual Original. Set index: Virtual Sets (2002-2009).

From 2002 the Players Committee layered rulings on the Decipher core books. The January 2003 Rules Supplement is that early layer. Players Committee Advanced Rulebook 1.7.1 (PDF dated 6 July 2007) then replaced previous rulebooks. The Players Committee rules page still linked AR1.7.1.pdf in July and September 2009, at the 2009 Virtual Block Reorganization.[3]
