On March 8th Tenacious Games will release The Spoils First Edition Part 2, a set of 165 new cards filled with great art and the irreverent humor that characterize this tournament-focused CCG targeting serious players from 15-30.  The Spoils, which launched 11 weeks ago at Gen Con SoCal, has already developed a solid following.  Tenacious Games CEO Scott Dodson has informed ICv2 that the first printing of pre-constructed Trade Decks has sold out.  'Sales of The Spoils have definitely been higher than our expectations for all our product SKUs, but the demand for the Trade Decks was clearly much higher than we anticipated,' he said. 'We actually bumped up the print run by 25% at the last minute because we had early indicators of high demand. We should have doubled the run.  The combination of a low MSRP ($7) and a large number of new players coming into the game sparked very brisk sales of the Trade Decks.'  Tenacious plans to have the Trade Decks available again for the release of The Spoils First Edition Part 2 on March 8th.

Tenacious Games also announced the locations of The Spoils Tournament Experience Release Invitationals, which will be held on March 4th in 19 cities across the U.S.  These events will include both the Regional $1,000 tournaments open to players who have qualified at Invitational Qualifiers (IQs) held at hundreds of retail stores across North America (see 'The Spoils Tournament Experience') and general admission pre-release events open to all players, who will get to check out The Spoils First Edition Part 2 four days before it goes into general release.  The cities hosting the first round of Invitationals are: Atlanta, Boston, Chicago, Charlotte, Dallas, Denver, Des Moines, Detroit, Los Angeles, Minneapolis, Maryland/Washington DC, New York, Orlando, Phoenix, Pittsburgh, Portland, Richmond, Rochester, and Seattle.

Hundreds of players have already qualified to play in the Invitationals and last chance Invitational Qualifiers will continue to run through the weekend of February 28th providing players looking to participate opportunities to win a spot at the March Invitationals.  For those who do qualify, the Invitationals are free and players will play with new cards from First Edition Part 2 before anyone else sees them. In addition to the free tournament, the $1,000 cash purse and free product, players who win an Invitational will be awarded 50 Spoils Tournament Experience (STE) points, thus qualifying them to play on the $400,000 Spoils Championship Cruise in February 2008.
