24 Trading Card Game

Taken from the Press Pass Inc. press release: Press Pass, Inc. [recently] announced a licensing agreement with the Twentieth Century Fox Film Corporation for the 24™ TCG (Trading Card Game). Based on the action-packed drama airing every Monday night at 9:00 p.m. (8:00 p.m. Central) on Fox, the 24™ TCG is scheduled to launch in August 2007 and builds on the success established by Press Pass with its critically acclaimed Fullmetal Alchemist TCG. Currently in its sixth season, 24™ follows the life of CTU agent Jack Bauer (played by Kiefer Sutherland) and his allies, minute by minute, through a single 24-hour day full of heart-stopping action and intense drama as they work to quell a threat to the American people. The Emmy award-winning series boasts nearly 16 million viewers each week and has inspired a wide range of licensed properties, including PlayStation2 video games, novels, comic books, and an upcoming line of action figures. “This is a license we’re thrilled to get,” said Edward Bolme, TCG Product Manager for Press Pass. “We’re designing this game to capture the essence of action and tension that the show portrays. We think the fans will find it a very exciting and attractive game.” “Fans of 24™ will love this game,” added Virginia King, Executive Director of Fox Licensing and Merchandising. “Serious collectors who don’t play games will want to collect these cards.” Created by the award-winning Press Pass, Inc. design team responsible for the Fullmetal Alchemist TCG (voted #1 New TCG of 2005 by readers of Scrye and InQuest and Best Anime TCG of 2006 by Anime Insider), the 24™ TCG will let you play either with or against CTU in a fast-paced struggle for victory. The game will feature 24-card decks and can be played in 15 to 20 minutes. Press Pass will also conduct a comprehensive marketing and promotion campaign as well as an aggressive tournament system.
