The Lycèe Trading Card Game is a Japanese collectible card game developed by Silver Blitz and published by Broccoli that uses characters from a variety of (mostly) visual novel computer games. Lycée is a French word roughly meaning 'high school'. Most of the cards are given unique, fanmade artwork.The exception is only for most promotional and lucky cards. The object of the game is to get one's opponent's sixty card deck down to zero, which is mostly done by attacking with character cards.

There are five rarities of cards: common, uncommon, rare, promotional and lucky. The 'lucky' cards are the most valuable, and may sold for as much as 9,800 yen on Japanese secondary markets.Example price obtained from highest prices for single Lycèe cards at [http://project-core.ocnk.net/product-list/184 Card Hobby Project Core] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070105132528/http://project-core.ocnk.net/product-list/184 |date=2007-01-05 }}. Retrieved on January 10, 2007. By contrast, 'rare' cards sell for between 50 and 1200 yen.[http://project-core.ocnk.net/product/2659 Bottom range.]{{dead link|date=January 2018 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }} [http://project-core.ocnk.net/product/3980 Upper range.]{{dead link|date=January 2018 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }} Few 'rare' cards are worth more than 500 yen.

Gameplay

There are four different card 'types': character, event, item and area.

In addition, each card is one of five 'elements': {{Nihongo|snow|雪|yuki}}, {{Nihongo|moon|月|tsuki}}, {{Nihongo|flower|花|hana}}, {{Nihongo|voidMore accurately, 宙 means '(outer) space'. 'Void' has been chosen for being a similar, less ambiguous word. Also, due to the symbol for 宙 looking like a lightning bolt, it is also called the 'lightning' element by English players to simplify things. |宙|sora}}, and {{Nihongo|sun|日|hi}}. There are also {{Nihongo|elementless|無|mu}} cards symbolized by a star, which can only pay for other elementless cards, but any element can pay for an elementless' cost.

Cards are played by discarding other cards from one's own hand to pay for a card's cost. For example: the Yumemi card pictured is worth if she is discarded ( is her type as shown in the upper-left corner and her worth, 2, is directly below her type) and costs to be played (the cost is shown over the field limitation icon, the six red dots on the left hand side).
