Star Wars: The Customizable Card Game.

Of the 90’s era deck building games it had the most advanced mechanics. The unique, beautiful, brilliance of the game was an element of randomness built into the game be the cards themselves.

Your deck was a stack that you would often draw the top from to determine random elements. Then place the card on the bottom (there’s more to this rule, but good enough for now).

Experienced players could learn to count cards in the end game, creating either fast, dynamic play or hard fought chess battles, jockeying for positions slowly undermining your opponent.

Tournament games had a time limit, but I’ve played regulation decks for 3 hours.

Lucasfilm eventually pulled the license for lesser games, but for a while it was amazing.
