Wizards of the Coast is sponsoring a ten-city mall tour to promote its Neopets Trading Card Game, beginning in July.  Designed to engage kids that have never played a TCG before as well as active fans, a 3100 square foot set will feature theatrical features, elaborate displays, and murals.  Among the activities are live action demonstrations with oversized cards; learn-to-play clinics, which give each kid a 2-player starter game; artists signing cards and sketching pets; on-site league play; and a 'trading zone' where fans can trade cards.
