World Club Champion Football (WCCF) is a Japanese collectible card game and arcade fantasy soccer game. The player assembles a team by collecting and trading specially marked cards, then managing their team and playing simulated matches on an arcade machine.
The Game consists of up to 16 player cards being used alongside the manager's IC Card. The human player becomes the manager of the football(Soccer) team and between 100 to 150 games can be played per IC Card.
You can change the player's formation, talk to the players in your office and train them up to special standards. Registering and using the player cards involves laying the cards down on a special matted table that senses the type of card and player.

[edit] Player Card
As mentioned, there are over 1000 different cards in the game. Some Players have different versions of themselves in the game. Player cards are classed in 4 different types of cards.
The first type is a White card. This type of card carries a standard player, for example Igor Tudor of Juventus. He would be considered in the game to have normal wage in the game and have the abilities of an average player in the team.
The second type of card is a Black card. This card carries a better player like Michael Owen or Ronaldo. Their wages in the game increase but their skills increase as well.
The third type of card is a Foil or known to the WCCF community as a "Shiney". These carry the superstars of the footballing world. When held up to the light, the card's background changes colour. Each grouping of cards have different coloured frames to show the different classes of player. There are plenty of versions of Foil cards reaching as far back in the game as the 2001-2002 season. These cards appear less in the game and are more rare than a black or a white card.
The fourth and most precious of cards is the Legend and All Time Legend cards. These cards are very rare and feature some of the best players ever to grace the game of football. These cards carry huge wage bills, but they also have very rare qualities in playing the game. Just like the foil cards, the Legend and All Time Legend cards are considered to be "Shiney" with a mainly gold appearance to the card. Once again, when light hits the cards at a certain angle, the colour changes slightly.
