WizKids Announces 'HorrorClix'

Seattle, WA - Miniatures game publisher WizKids Inc. has announced a new collectible miniatures game. HorrorClix is a B-movie monster adventure that will use the familiar Clix combat dial system to provide hundreds of tailor-made supernatural powers and abilities for the scary minis. It also uses plot twist cards, a heavy emphasis on scenario play and new character cards to expand the boundaries of CMGs and the patented Clix system. HorrorClix character cards flesh out each monster with fiction and detailed explanations of each creature's capabilities, including mechanics never before seen in miniature games.

HorrorClix places players firmly in the action, suspense and excitement of a horror movie,” said Jordan Weisman, WizKids CEO. “Players assemble teams of monsters from across the horror spectrum — including vampires, zombies and werewolves — and then protect the innocent, eat them or both in a delightful, gore-filled romp!”

HorrorClix will be the star of the show at the two biggest 2006 summer United States gaming conventions: Origins in Columbus, Ohio, and Gen Con in Indianapolis, Ind. Players from all over the world can experience the wicked fun of HorrorClix in ongoing demonstrations and special events. WizKids also plans to unveil a “big” HorrorClix surprise at the GAMA trade show in March.

HorrorClix will release in late summer or early fall of 2006.
