WizKids: Pirates at the Ocean's Edge

WIZKIDS ANNOUNCES NEW GAME ELEMENTS AND CONFIGURATIONS WITH THE PIRATES AT OCEAN'S EDGE CSG

January 29, 2007 (SEATTLE) - WizKids Inc., creator of runaway hit games like HeroClix® and Pirates of the Spanish Main, announced today the Pirates at Ocean's Edge constructible strategy game (CSG) set, which continues the mystical fantasy world of Pirates of Davy Jones' Curse.

Pirates at Ocean's Edge features new sea monsters like titanic crabs, prehistoric sharks and awesome sea dragons, which plague the unknown waters at the edge of the globe. Pirates everywhere have begun using junk ships from the orient, swift windcatchers and sturdy catamarans. In addition, treacherous whirlpools make navigating the high seas a challenge that only the most skilled pirate would attempt.

"Pirates at Ocean's Edge maximizes the fun of constructing incredible sea creatures and awesome ships," said WizKids® EVP of Sales, Marketing and Product Development, Joe Hauck. "Destroying your opponent's fleet has never been this satisfying."

Pirates at Ocean's Edge releases worldwide in April 2007 and will be available in traditional Game Packs and never-before-seen two-player Mega Packs. Traditional Game Packs (MSRP $3.99) each contain two ships or one ship and one sea monster, one whirlpool/island card, one crew or treasure card, game rules and one mini-die. Two-player Mega Packs (MSRP $8.99) each contain a combination of five ships and/or sea monsters, two whirlpool/island cards, two crew or treasure cards, game rules and two mini-dice.

Also releasing in April are oversized Pirates at Ocean's Edge Tins and Value Boxes. Each Tin (MSRP $14.99) contains four Pirates at Ocean's Edge Game Packs and random, exclusive Special Edition Pirates of the South China Seas game pieces. A free sample pack of the Pirates CSG Online game is also included. Each Value Box (MSRP $9.99) contains six ships, three crew or treasure cards, game rules, one of four Special Edition, four-mast ships and one regular-sized die.
