The 'collectible' aspect comes from the fact that in all collectible card games, most cards are sold in randomized products (typically in packs of 8-15 cards called booster packs), and players must buy these random packs or trade with other players in order to collect cards and build an effective deck. Seto Kaiba, Yu-Gi-Oh! The Abridged SeriesĪ collectible card game (CCG), also known as a trading card game (TCG), is a card game where, instead of using a standard set of cards, each player creates their own deck using cards from their collection and brings it to the game.
