UPPER DECK ENTERTAINMENT RAISES SHELL
WITH NEW ‘TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES TRADING
CARD GAME’


‘Turtles’ Unleashed in Stores Nationwide Beginning February 2004



CARLSBAD – January 14, 2004 – Trading card game publisher and distributor Upper Deck Entertainment, a division of The Upper Deck Company, LLC; the Konami Corporation, creators of the widely-popular Yu-Gi-Oh! TRADING CARD GAME; 4Kids Entertainment, Inc.; and Mirage Licensing, Inc., join forces to unleash the new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Trading Card Game. “Turtles Unleashed” will be released in participating retail and hobby stores nationwide in February 2004.

The two-player game allows opponents to re-enact the hip and hard-shelled foursome, as they engage in martial arts mayhem against arch nemesis, Shredder and the Foot Clan. “Turtles Unleashed” is a one-on-one fighting game, in which players create their own deck by combining various characters and martial arts moves to fight against their opponent. By using various Attack, Event, Character and Item cards, the first person to have their opponent run out of cards first wins.

The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Two-Player Starter Set will contain two card decks (40 cards each), one rule book, and one game mat, and the “Turtles Unleashed” booster pack will contain a total of nine cards. The entire set will consist of 55 Common Cards (8:1) and 100 Foil cards (1:1). Foils include ten Super Rare cards (1:6) and ten Ultra Rare cards (1:12).

Upcoming booster sets include the Swift as the Wind booster set (May), and the Still as the Forest booster set (September). Both booster sets will provide 100 all-new cards for Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle players to collect and play.

The all-new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles animated series airs on 4Kids Entertainment’s FOX BOX on Saturday mornings.
