Background

Originally titled Senshi Card-Mania!, this was the first online TCG. It was first opened by Calico in January 2002. The site had a long run until 2005, when Calico finally lost passion for TCGs after watching the community slowly implode over arguments and credit policing.

The site was revamped and re-opened again under the new name Senshi Card-Mania! R at the end of 2006 with a strong staff with Mousey as co-owner, acting as website host and card maker. There was a large member base and a successful opening. The return of SCM brought a lot of old TCG players who had quit back into the community. The second run of the game ended on October 3, 2008, when it went into an indefinite hiatus and Calico left the TCG world permanently.

For the reopening of the game as SCMR, Calico wrote a long history of both SCM and the TCG world that can still be accessed through the Internet Archive.

SCM Olympics

The SCM Olympics was a team competition activity, and the first of its kind in the TCG world. Given a selection of color-based teams (i.e., Pink Team, Blue Team), players would pick three and be placed on a team from their picks. As a group, teams would participate in contests and complete activities, often on the forum. Winning teams earned gold cards, second place earned silver, and third place earned bronze. The Olympics took place every year during the summer months.

Layout Gallery

The classic SCM layouts have been lost, but were often made by Calico herself, using simple images and HTML. The first layout of SCMR was made by staff member Misty. The second set was made by staff member Smam. For both versions, Senshi Card-Mania! R had multiple skins that players could choose from while browsing.
