Dragon Ball Z Trading Card Game (originally the Dragon Ball Z Collectible Card Game and the Dragon Ball GT Trading Card Game) is a trading card game based on the Dragon Ball series created by Akira Toriyama. The game is produced by Score Entertainment and uses screen captures of the anime to attempt to recreate the famous events and battles seen in the anime.
The game first saw release in 2000, with the "Saiyan Saga" starter decks and booster packs. As of 2006, the game has had eighteen expansions, one "virtual" set, several "Subsets", and many promotional cards, or "Promos". As of June 2006, the Dragon Ball Z Trading Card Game has been discontinued.
A brand new game, the Dragon Ball Collectible Card Game, with completely different rules was released by Bandai in July 2008.
Note that all character names used here are of those used in the card themselves, in order to reduce confusion.

Famous quotes containing the words dragon, ball, card and/or game:
“Sir Eglamour, that worthy knight,
He took his sword and went to fight;
And as he rode both hill and dale,
Armed upon his shirt of mail,
A dragon came out of his den,
Had slain, God knows how many men!”
—Samuel Rowlands (1570?–1630?)
“Knowing what you can not do is more important than knowing what you can do. In fact, that’s good taste.”
—Lucille Ball (1911–1989)
“Mothers are not the nameless, faceless stereotypes who appear once a year on a greeting card with their virtues set to prose, but women who have been dealt a hand for life and play each card one at a time the best way they know how. No mother is all good or all bad, all laughing or all serious, all loving or all angry. Ambivalence rushes through their veins.”
—Erma Bombeck (20th century)
“The savage soul of game is up at once—
The pack full-opening various, the shrill horn
Resounded from the hills, the neighing steed
Wild for the chase, and the loud hunter’s shout—
O’er a weak, harmless, flying creature, all
Mixed in mad tumult and discordant joy.”
—James Thomson (1700–1748)
