WizerGames has announced the release of the Chessheads TCG, a new mythology-based 'chessboard trading card game.'  The game is a 2-player game for players 8 and up that know how to play chess. 

 

The first product is a Deck Builder box, which contains 30 randomly assorted cards from a 121-card set, rules, and 24 full-color 'Entigy' tokens.  MSRP is $9.99.  A chess set and board are also needed to play. 

 

Card art for the game is by Ryan Shreve, formerly of Interactive Imagination (Magi-Nation).

 

Wizer Games is a new company founded by D.M. Weinstock, the proprietor of online retailer Chessmate.com and designer of Chessheads. 

 

The game was demoed at both Origins and Gencon.  Initial distribution is still being arranged.
