ICv2: “Ultra Pro Does ‘Pathfinder’ “

Wednesday, April 9th, 2014

 

UltraPRO has announced several planned accessories for Paizo Publishing’s Pathfinder Adventure Card Game (PACG), including an Adventure Mat, PACG Deck Protectors, two sets of playmats for the Skull & Shackles set, and an Adventure Case storage box.

UltraPRO entered into a license agreement with Paizo last August to produce accessories for their new PACG.

The Adventure Mat was shown off by Paizo at GTS.  The mat measures 24″ by 24″, with placement guides for all different decks.  Release is planned for August.

 

The PACG Deck Protectors are a pack of 50 printed card sleeves featuring Pathfinder logo art.  Planned for June or July.

To complement the PACG: Skull & Shackles Base Set releasing in August, UltraPRO will release seven new Character Mats with new art.  They will be packaged together as a set.  The mats actually carry an in-game bonus.  According to the Paizo website description, “Each player using their character mat receives a special bonus: Once per game, at the start of your turn, you may discard a card to draw a card.”

UltraPRO will also release PACG: Skull & Shackles Character Add-On Deck Mats.  The four mats will feature playable characters available through Skull & Shackles expansion decks.

Finally, UltraPRO plans to release an Adventure Case, a storage case which holds over 1,200 sleeved cards.

ICv2: Bushiroad Announces ‘Weiss Schwartz: Angel Beats! Re: edit’ Release Date

Wednesday, April 2nd, 2014

 

Hobby channel retailer news website ICv2.com reported last week that Bushiroad will release the new Angel Beats! Re: Edit expansion for its Weiss Schwarz TCG.  The expansion will include a Trial Deck and Booster packs.  Both will release on July 25th.  This set will introduce a new foil pattern for R and RR rarity cards.

 

The set is based on the Angel Beats! anime  and game series.  The story takes place in the afterlife, and focuses on Otonashi, a boy who has lost his memories after dying and is enrolled in an afterlife school.  Otonashi is asked to join the Afterlife Battlefront, an organization fighting against God for imposing cruel fates on the students during life. The series blends action, humor and music.

 

The 50-card Trial Deck will contain 21 types of cards including three exclusive cards. A randomly selected deck in each display will have 1 RRR holo card (3 designs) or 1 SP Gold foil signed by Japanese voice actress Kana Hanazawa, who played Kanade.  The decks will include a rule sheet, deck manual, playbook and playmat.  The decks are packed six to a display, with eight displays per carton.  The English Edition does not include gold/silver campaign coupons.

 

The booster will include 117 types of cards, as well as 36 parallel cards. Gold foil chase cards featuring autographs from Japanese voice actresses will be randomly inserted into packs.  Each booster includes eight cards, with 20 boosters per display. Four rubber playmats are included in each carton.  The English Edition does not include gold/silver campaign coupons.  With this set, English and Japanese cards may be played together in tournament formats (except in Japan).

 

The Weiss Schwarz: Love Live! Trial Deck and Booster are due to release in May.  Bushiroad has also introduced US organized play for the game this year, which you can enjoy each and every Saturday at Battleground Games & Hobbies in Abington, MA! Please see our event calender for additional details.
