Scrye 4/3 - 26 - X-Files CCG: Feature
THE X FILES
COLLECTIBLE CARD GAME
101361 the next level
by Andy Graumann
As many X-File fanatics probably already
know, the 101361 expansion derived its name
from Fox Mulder's birth date, October 13, 1961.
This deck features many of the 125 cards in the
set. Four of the five
Agents used with this
deck come from the
101361 expansion, as
well as 59 of the 80
cards.
This deck provides
the player with many dif-
ferent options for the
successful investigation
of Sites and for stopping
your opponent. It is
designed to allow your
Agents to split into two
or more teams and
attempt multiple Site
investigations per turn. Defen-
sively, you will have many differ-
ent options for attempting to
shut down your opponent.

When you play this deck, try
to cycle through it quickly. Since
it contains 80 cards,
instead of the minimum
of 60, using as many
cards as possible becomes
a bigger focus. Use Albert
Hosteen's ability to look
at the opponent's cards to
help insure successful Site
investigations. Then,
replenish the token to use the ability
again, using the Bluff The Mailman. A
variety of Witnesses, Equipment, and
Events will also help your team investi-
gate many Sites successfully.
While it's your opponent's turn, sell
the high Cost Equipment, Witnesses,
to cycle through it quickly. Since
it contains 80 cards,
instead of the minimum
of 60, using as many

gate many Sites successfully.
While it's your opponent's turn, sell
the high Cost Equipment, Witnesses,
and Events that you are not
using. Conspiracy cards do tend
to get expensive and half the bat-
tle is stopping your opponent.
Use the Margi Kleinjan and Terri
Roberts Adversary combination
described in the Card Combo
article (on pg. 40) as well as the
Oubliette Bluff to keep opposing
Agents out of play. Your oppo-
nent will have a hard time inves-
tigating Sites without Agents to
do so. Take advantage of all cards
that aid in the playing of others.
For instance the Event Men In
Black, which allows you to place Bluffs beneath
it and play them for 2 CP less.
This deck will give you, the player, a lot of
freedom as to just how you will investigate Sites
and stop the opponent. With this deck, it will
be much easier to discover that The Truth Is
Out There...
