24 Trading Card Game
From Wiki 24
The 24 Trading Card Game is a competitive strategy game from Press Pass, Inc. where players control characters and situations from the world of 24. Each card represents an element of the 24 universe, such as a character, a piece of equipment, or an event. Card art and creative content are drawn entirely from the show. Winning requires sending your characters on dangerous missions; succeeding in a mission brings you closer to the goal of scoring 24 points before your opponent.
Players assemble and customize their own 24-card decks from the hundreds of cards available. Many tournaments use multiple-deck formats, allowing competitors to play their best CTU and insurgent decks at the same event. Unique "Agenda" cards offer game-changing effects for little cost thanks to the way they use visible countdowns as a form of time pressure, and the "war card" combat mechanic helps prevent situational or specialized cards from going dead in a player's hand.
Press Pass cancelled the game and closed its official website in April 2008. Hypershot Realms is now the most active fansite.
