Fastbreak is an out-of-print collectible card game (CCG) by WildStorm based on professional basketball.[1] It was first released in August 1996 and was designed by Matt Forbeck.[2][3] The original set had 303 cards plus 2 promo cards, though one source claims there are 8 promo cards.[1][2] The art was cartoony with a humor theme and was described as having a "consistent theme" with its "best traits [being] its humor and the realism".[2] Matt Forbeck is featured on a card, and as one of the designers, put significant effort into designing and playing the game.[3]

Gameplay involves players taking on the role of coaches to guide their basketball players to victory. Two rows of 5-man teams are lined up and a basketball token is passed between the player cards using Dribble cards.[2] The ball moves up columns and across rows on a 5x5 grid.[2] Counter play is initiated through Foul cards that can steal or shoot the ball that is being dribbled via Grab cards.[2] Passes are resisted with Steals and Shoot cards resisted with Blocks.[2] Wild cards allow effects outside of moving the ball.[2]
