or here an excerpt from Wikipedia:

Shadowfist is a collectable card game that was created by Robin Laws and Jose Garcia and released in 1995. It shares the same background as the Feng Shui role-playing game, which was also created by Laws and Garcia and released the following year. Shadowfist is a multiplayer asymmetrical strategic game, the design of which is influenced by games such as Cosmic Encounter, Dune by Avalon Hill, Magic: The Gathering and its direct predecessor, On the Edge.

Shadowfist was primarily inspired by Hong Kong action and wuxia films of the late 1980s and 1990's, and by action films in general. In the game various factions from across time battle for control of the world's Feng Shui sites in a conflict known as the "Secret War." Time travel takes place through an alternate dimension known as the Netherworld which opens to various junctures. The current open junctures are A.D. 82, 1863, 1939, 2009, and 2069.

Shadowfist was originally published by Daedalus Games and then moved to Z-Man Games who brought the game back into publication in 2000. It is now being published by Shadowfist Games.

The titles of cards and the flavor text in the game are rife with humor and pop culture references, especially the Jammers faction, which contains cards such as "Furious George" and "Entropy is your friend."
