VS. System ("Versus System") is a collectable card game published in 2004 by Upper Deck Entertainment in collaboration with both DC and Marvel comics. The game or 'system' comes with established set of rules and requires two or more players often playing in tournament-style competitions. Basically, the card game involves players building and playing a deck of 'Vs. System' cards with the object of wearing down their opponents to 0 or less endurance. Much of the card artwork, characters, and game play concepts were inspired by their comic book appearances. Therefore, a characters' "card mechanics" were based on their various comic book representations. Many well known comic artists contributed their talents in the creation and design of these collectable cards. Upper Deck stopped producing these DC and Marvel "Vs. System" card sets in 2009. Lana Lang appears in two 'Vs. System' cards.

Smallville Roleplaying Game ("RPG") is a game published in 2010 by Margaret Weis Productions in collaboration with DC and the CW Network. Like many role-playing games, this one allows players to assume the roles of 'Smallville' characters in a fictional setting and enables them to 'act out' these roles through a structured decision-making process. This particular game uses their own in-house system known as 'Cortex', which basically ranks abilities and or perks in die types (type of dice), and you roll the relevant dice together. You then take the highest two results and add them together – one die represents a personal value and the other a personal relationship.

Other aspects of this role-playing system include, abilities, gear (for the non-powered), and various resources, which are triggered by the multiple 'Plot Points' within the game. There are three 'Smallville RPG books in this series: 'Smallville Roleplaying Game' (Available now), 'Smallville High School Yearbook' (Not yet released), and 'Smallville: The Watchtower Report' (Not yet released). The released 216 page 'Smallville RPG Corebook' includes a section on 'Online Play', images/screen-caps from the show, episode breakdowns of seasons eight and nine, and much more. It is available in both hardcover and in PDF form.
