The BattleTech Collectable Card Game has a special place with the Strikers group
of players. We played this game first before making a storyline with the tabletop
strategy game. Playing for a couple of years hardcore, we later played it again
briefly in college with Todd. Finally, a new group of players are playing the game
regularly again in Japan. We would like to share with you some of our decks that
we have constructed. As the original rules go, each deck is 60 cards. We have built
these decks around specific themes, including teams and varying strategies.
