Captain Action Enterprises will release a new card game based on the classic Captain Action comic property this fall.
Designed by Harold Sipe and Meg Stivison, the Captain Action 50th Anniversary Card Game features classic art from Murphy Anderson and Carmine Infantino, as well as contributions from Jerry Ordway, Paul Gulacy and Kerry Callen. There are three different games which can be played with the deck. The games are for 3 – 4 players, ages 12 and up. MSRP is $25.99.
The game will be available November 1 from The Game Crafter, and will release via select retailers in time for the holidays.The game has a historical precedent; it is reminiscent of the 1967 General Mills’ Kool-Pops mail in offer where fans could mail in 3 boxtops for a Captain Action card set.
Captain Action Enterprises also produced vinyl figures as part of the franchise’s 50th Anniversary (see “'50th Anniversary Captain Action' Figures”).
