Score plans to promote its Fruits Basket Card Game (see 'Score Announces Early 2006 Releases') with a card insert in Southern Island's Fruits Basket action figures.  The figures in which the card will be inserted are the two planned for release in May (see 'CDS To Distribute Fruits Basket Figures').  Score also promoted the game with a card insert in the February issue of Shojo Beat. 

Score packaged the game for shelving near the Fruits Basket manga.  At this point comic and game stores have a clear shot at the audience for this game; no major bookstore orders have been booked to date.
