rdfs:comment
  • Decipher, Inc. is an American gaming company based in Norfolk, Virginia, USA. They began with three puzzles called "Decipher" then moved on to party games and Pente sets, but since 1994 produced collectible card and role-playing games. Their longest-running offering is the How to Host a Murder Mystery series. Other popular works have included many different card games. Since 2002 Decipher has released two licensed role-playing games; Star Trek RPG and Lord of the Rings RPG.
  • Decipher sought to rejuvenate the Star Wars Customizable Card Game mechanics after losing the license in 2001, creating the nonlicensed WARS Trading Card Game in 2004. Consumer apathy resulted in the game being placed on indefinite hiatus after less than a year in production, and officially cancelled a few months later. Decipher has been around since the 1980s through various board games. The motto for Decipher has been: "Decipher: The Art of Great Games."
