Description
A basketball trading card game. This game is notable for its fast play, accomplished by avoiding a shot by shot mechanism, instead having a quarter by quarter roll for each player. This gives the players points, assists, and rebounds. Additionally each player has a speed and power rating which factors into their matchups, and can get "hot" or "cold".
