Mystery, intrigue, the unexplained...welcome to The X-Files Collectible Card Game. Like the television program upon which it is based, The X-Files CCG will open up a world of bizarre and compelling adventure for those brave enough to attempt it and resourceful enough to discover the secrets.
In The X-Files television series, a strange event happens at an unusual place. Soon, FBI Agents Fox Mulder and Dana Scully appear on the scene to investigate. Mulder and Scully open an X-File on the case and, with the aid of other agents, civilian witnesses, specialized equipment, and their own wits, attempt to solve the mystery. During their investigation, the pair run into all sorts of difficulties and deterrents, including sinister adversaries like The Cigarette-Smoking Man and the Alien Bounty Hunter, not to mention their more unexplainable foes. As these forces conspire to destroy evidence and hinder investigation, Scully and Mulder continue to seek answers.
Your objective in The X-Files CCG is to identify your opponent's X-Files. To achieve this goal, your Agents may further be aided by helpful equipment, witnesses, and events. You must also protect the secrecy of your own X-File by using adversaries, bluffs, and events to thwart your opponent's investigation.
The X-Files Collectible Card Game puts you in Scully and Mulder's Shoes. You will use deductive reasoning to solve their current X-File.
