Card Sets and Products
The first set released for each game universe is typically named after that game universe, while later sets have original names. Because it contains cards from two game universes, the inaugural SNK set is named after the game company instead. Most SNK sets feature cards drawn from both Samurai Shodown V and The King of Fighters 2006; the fourth is based solely on the latter game. The first Soulcalibur IV set is named Tower of Souls to more easily differentiate it from the inaugural Soulcalibur III set. Soulcalibur III and Soulcalibur IV are considered to be different licenses, despite technically being from the same series, and thus have their own set identifiers (SC and SCIV, respectively).

Famous quotes containing the words card, sets and/or products:
“There is undoubtedly something religious about it: everyone believes that they are special, that they are chosen, that they have a special relation with fate. Here is the test: you turn over card after card to see in which way that is true. If you can defy the odds, you may be saved. And when you are cleaned out, the last penny gone, you are enlightened at last, free perhaps, exhilarated like an ascetic by the falling away of the material world.”
—Andrei Codrescu (b. 1947)
“The believing mind reaches its perihelion in the so-called Liberals. They believe in each and every quack who sets up his booth in the fairgrounds, including the Communists. The Communists have some talents too, but they always fall short of believing in the Liberals.”
—H.L. (Henry Lewis)
“... white people, like black ones, are victims of a racist society. They are products of their time and place.”
—Shirley Chisholm (b. 1924)
