Decipher Inc. is a Los Angeles-based firm. Beginning in 1994, Decipher first produced the Star Trek: Customizable Card Game and its offshoots, and then in 2001, took over the license for Star Trek RPGs after Last Unicorn Games. Decipher shut down its RPG division in 2003, but continued to produce the CCG until 2007.
Decipher, Inc. were the license-holders and publishers of the Star Wars Customizable Card Game between 1995 and 2001.
Decipher sought to rejuvenate the Star Wars CCG mechanics after losing the license in 2001. They created the non-licensed "WARS" in 2004 in an attempt to do just that. A remarkable showing of consumer apathy resulted in the game being placed on 'indefinite hiatus' after less than a year in production. Decipher has since claimed to be attempting to make a major motion picture deal to raise interest.
Decipher has been around since the 1980s through various board games. The motto for Decipher has been: "Decipher: The Art of Great Games".
