CCP LAUNCHES A NEW COLLECTIBLE CARD GAME AT GEN CON INDY
SHOW
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE REYKJAVIK, ICELAND - JULY 13, 2006 - CCP
Games is set to launch its first Collectible Card Game called
"EVE: The Second Genesis", based on its award winning
MMOG EVE Online®, at the Gen Con Indy Show in Indianapolis,
Indiana, August 10-13, 2006. "EVE: The Second Genesis" CCG
challenges players to build up their empires and crush their
opponents. Players use their deck of cards and wealth amassed
to build starships to expand their Starfleet, expand their
empires, and use all the dirty tricks up their sleeves in order
to gain power and weaken their opponents. Booster packs will be
available, containing 15 randomly assorted cards of different
rarities. The booster packs are advised for the more
experienced players who are ready to start adjusting their
decks or create new ones. Players have a 50% chance of finding
a holographic premium card in each booster pack. "Starting to
play will be made easy by offering pre-constructed Starter Kits
sufficient for two friends to start playing immediately," says
Ingolfur Aevarsson, CCP´s CCG Marketing Director. New players
may choose between two Starter Kits: "The Great War"
which includes a pair of pre-constructed 55-card decks
containing both the Gallente and the Caldari races; and "The
Day of Darkness" with two 55-card decks containing the
other two races, the Amarr and Minmatar. Each Starter Kit comes
with a complete rule book and coin tokens. Additional details
can be found at www.eve-ccg.com where each of "EVE: The Second
Genesis'" Starter Kits can be pre-ordered along with an entire
display box of 24 Booster packs. Pre-ordered shipments are
expected to begin at the end of July. EVE: The Second Genesis
will hit stores in October, 2006. About CCP CCP Games
