These card games are very similar to regular CCGs; however, they do not meet the strict definition, because all players use a shared deck, also known as a common deck, similar to

Non-collectible customizable card games
Sometimes referred to as
Living Card Games, these games are very similar to CCGs but lack randomness to the purchase and distribution of the cards. Most are sold as complete sets and are therefore not ''collectible''. Some of these games were meant to be traditional CCGs with booster packs, but the booster packs were never released.
