The Wheel of Time Collectible Card Game

Modern Hobby Strategy Games

The Wheel of Time Collectible Card Game is an out-of-print collectible card game published by Precedence Entertainment in December 1999, based on Robert Jordan's fantasy novel series The Wheel of Time. Two or more players build decks representing factions and characters from Jordan's world, using a play mat, tokens and customized six-sided dice alongside the cards themselves, a mechanical approach the publisher shared with its earlier Babylon 5 and Tomb Raider collectible card games. A typical game took over ninety minutes to play following a short setup. The game ended production after Precedence Entertainment's licence lapsed, leaving it a defunct but collected artifact of the late-1990s licensed collectible card game boom built around Jordan's bestselling series.
