A Wicked Fun New Game From WizKids

February 3, 2006 (SEATTLE) - WizKids Inc., who revolutionized miniatures gaming with the Mage Knight®, MechWarrior® and HeroClix® collectable miniatures games (CMGs), announced today the next revolution in miniatures gaming: HorrorClix™!

"HorrorClix places players firmly in the action, suspense and excitement of a horror movie," said Jordan Weisman, WizKids® CEO. "Players assemble teams of monsters from across the horror spectrum - including vampires, zombies and werewolves � and then protect the innocent, eat them or both in a delightful, gore-filled romp!" HorrorClix uses plot twist cards, a heavy emphasis on scenario play and new character cards to explode the boundaries of CMGs and the patented Clix system.

HorrorClix raises the bar for all miniatures games by shifting the game focus from hack-and-slash combat to inventive scenario- and story-based play. Additionally, it uses the combat dial to provide literally hundreds of tailor-made supernatural (and super-gruesome!) powers and abilities. Character cards flesh out each monster with fiction and detailed explanations of each creature's capabilities, including mechanics never before seen in miniatures games!

HorrorClix will be the star of the show at the two biggest 2006 summer United States gaming conventions: Origins in Columbus, Ohio, and Gen Con in Indianapolis, Ind. Players from all over the world can experience the wicked fun of HorrorClix in ongoing demonstrations and special events. WizKids also plans to unveil a "big" HorrorClix surprise at the GAMA trade show in March.

HorrorClix will release in late summer or early fall of 2006, and will be available at gaming stores, comic stores and specialty stores worldwide. For more information, go to www.horrorclix.com.
