The first edition consists – according to the “Scrye CCG Checklist And Priceguide 2nd Edition” – of: Anyway, the game was re-launched in 2007 and seems to be alive and well with a loyal fanbase.įor “Highlander” it’s not so easy to find a list of all expansions, so I try to assemble one here. I am not sure if the current HighlanderTCG company was founded by LeMontagnard or if the game changed hands again before the launch of the 2nd Edition. I find no mention of LeMontagnard on the current official page.

Head of the company was Mike Sager, the former president of Thunder Castle Games and creator of the original game. Then news came up that the company LeMontagnard Games wanted to produce a Second Edition. It seems they published the Black raven 1-4 and some preview cards for a Millenium set, altogether 140 cards.

Not much traces of those guys on the web, so the best source is this card database for Highlander: The company SAEC Games produced small sets to continue the game. The makers tried to limit access, so that the cards still have rarities. The Missing Link expansions can be found here:īut don’t expect easy access. Since the game wasn’t continued, fan-made expansions were made.

At least publishing complete card lists wasn’t mandatory in the beginning of the CCG era.

Also in tournaments, if you were defeated by headshot, you had to give all “quickening” cards you used in your deck to your opponent, because he absorbed your powers. Well, okay, I hope those were all common cards, otherwise the rich kids will win the tournaments. Some cards were “rips”, that means you had to destroy the actual card to use the effect (at leats in official tournaments). Alternatively you can try to pull off a head shot, which is of course more difficult, but ends the game immediately.Īs far as my good old “Scrye CCG Checklist & Price Guide” tells me, this game had some unique ideas. One player wins by reducing his opponent’s ability (also his maximum hand size) from 15 to 0. Of course there are also more generic cards for everyone, including attacks and blocks, which are used to play out the actual sword duels. The game offers a broad selection of immortals from the movies and the tv show, each of them has a lot of weapons, events and moves only usable by him. As you can imagine you play an immortal who tries to defeat his opponent in a series of encounters via sword fight. It had a quite succesful run with a number of expansions, before TCG released its last expansion in 1999. “Highlander” is a game that was introduced to the market in 1995 by Thunder Castle Games during the first wave of Magic follow-up games.

Fans of the game who have followed its history over the years should feel free to leave comments and correct me if I confuse some facts. But when writing this article I stumbled upon fan-made virtual expansions and small sets by yet another company. At first I had an overview over the original run and knew that the game was revived two years ago. It’s so tempting to make some silly jokes about this immortal game.

Oh boy, what was supposed to be writing a quick overview over a CCG turned out to be more and more complicateded task.
