Force of Will, the Japanese CCG that launched in the U.S. in February, is planning to nearly double the number of available SKUs in July, and has added UltraPRO as a licensee. Three new CCG products are planned.

Two complete decks, each of which includes one Rule, a main deck of 40 cards, and a Magic stone deck of 10 cards, are included. The package also includes two play sheets, two manuals for beginners, plus advanced rules. One top loader is included with every set.

Force of Will will also launch Engage Knights, a new set in the Vingolf Series, in July. In this set, historical heroes such as Alexander, Napoleon, Genghis Khan, Nobunaga Oda, and Jeanne d’Arc join the game in the form of attractive young women (or, as their website puts it, "with pretty girl appearance").
The set includes five Rulers, 49 Resonators, 10 Magic stones, 25 Spells for a total of 89 types of cards in a 218-card set. One free Top Loader is include with every set purchase, with a special version only available with first printings.
