The WARS Trading Card Game is a collectible science fiction card game that Decipher released in October 2004. It was announced as the spiritual follow-up to the company's Star Wars Customizable Card Game, and it borrowed and modified that game's mechanics while being Decipher's only card game not based on a licensed property. Its setting is the year 2391, when a tear in space lets alien warriors invade a divided humanity of Earthers, Martian Gongens and outer-rim Mavericks. The first set, Incursion, came out in October 2004 with 330 cards and a second, Nowhere to Hide, followed in January 2005. Further sets were planned, but Decipher put the game on hiatus in May 2005. The universe later continued in short stories and novels from other publishers, and Mongoose Publishing issued a related role-playing game in 2005.
