Score Entertainment has announced Afterworld: Genesis, its first trading card game (TCG) based on an in-house intellectual property.  Afterworld is a TCG with a 'board game' feel thanks to its territory cards, which can be pieced together to create maps.  Other types of cards include Commanders, Items (weapons, tools), Characters, and Events.  Players in this strategic card game, which should appeal to both TCG and CMG fans, take the roles of military heroes from history and mythology and attempt to capture other players and their fortresses in this innovative game designed by Aik Tongtharadol, the world champion DBZ TCG player who helped redesign the DBZ TCG (see 'Revamped DBZ TCG Sells Out').  Starter decks are based on four fantasy civilizations--Norse, Egyptian, Japanese, and Atlantean -- and additional fantasy 'civilizations' such as Camelot may be added in subsequent expansions.

The initial Afterworld Genesis release will include 264 different cards dispersed throughout the four different starter decks and 12-card booster packs.  Each booster pack will include common, uncommon, and rare cards.  The striking fantasy art comes from Cold Fuzion Studios, which has produced a number of comic book and design projects and includes artists Ale Garza and Joe Madureira among others.
