[BNW] AEG Announces the Launch of the Best Card Game of the Year

[Alderac@aol.com]

Ontario, CA. AEG is proud to announce the launch of its first major project 
of the new year, the fast playing and exciting fantasy card game Warlord: 
Saga of the Storm (SotS). The fourth card game from our award winning CCG 
design staff, Warlord is the fastest playing card game in AEG's library, yet 
maintains the same quiet strategy and depth that has characterized all AEG 
collectible card games.

Based in an original fantasy world, Warlord: SotS combines card and 
dice-based mechanics that stress chess like movement for play position. Fast 
and easy to play, Warlord is easily the most accessible card game design in 
AEG's history and will capture huge attention from the gaming public. 
Warlord: SotS  will also be the best-supported game in the company's history.

Even before its launch in April, over 400,000 playable decks will be given 
away as inserts into popular game magazines such as Dragon, Inquest, Games 
Unplugged and Scrye. These decks will be available in the March issues of 
each publication. Full rules will be published free-of-charge in a wide 
variety of additional industry magazines and will be widely available 
on-line. The launch will also feature a "First Day Play Tour" at select 
locations nationwide.

"Warlord: SotS is the one of the finest designs to come out of AEG, everyone 
involved has gone above and beyond their normally superlative level of work 
to forge a real gem," quips John Zinser, President of AEG.

"This game reflects the best of the AEG design process," adds Dave Williams, 
Lead Designer ," the basic game play rocks, the art is awesome, and 
everything is coming together in a frighteningly professional manner. It's 
almost like we've successfully done this three times before."

Warlord: SotS ships in April.  Additional information is available on line at 
www.alderac.com/warlord.

AEG designs and produces some of the best, award wining products in the 
Adventure Game industry. AEG's first three card games; Legend of the Five 
Rings, Doomtown, and 7th Sea have all proven AEG's design ability, each 
winning an Origin's Game of the Year award, and demonstrating the company's 
ability to build happy and loyal players.
