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.[2][1] The art was cartoony with a humor theme.[2]

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. Counter play is initiated through Foul cards that can steal or shoot the ball that is being dribbled.[2]
