    ‘Ender’s Game: Battle School’ Board Game: Hi-Res Image

    Last week we told you about Ender’s Game: Battle School, a board game to be released by Cryptozoic. Now we have a hi-res version of the image Cryptozoic is using to advertise their new game. You can even read the words on the cards! Click the image for the hi-res version.

    In case you don’t remember, here is the description of the game again:

    Ender’s Game: Battle School is a two-player game set in the zero-gravity arena of the International Fleet’s Battle School.  Players take the role of either Ender Wiggin and the Dragon Team or Bonzo Madrid and the Salamander Team, and then use Commander cards with special abilities (some for the whole team, some that only help the commander) to attempt to capture the other team’s gates or freeze opposing team players with laser-light guns.  The player who completes either of the goals first (capturing all the gates or freezing the opposing commander) wins.

  • Cryptozoic’s Ender’s Game TCG to Include Autographed Cards

    Cryptozoic’s Ender’s Game TCG to Include Autographed Cards

    Cryptozoic_Entertainment

    Thanks to an inquiry by Ender News, we now know that Cryptozoic Entertainment will be releasing autographed cards for their upcoming Ender’s Game trading card game.

    It’s unknown at this time which cast members will be participating, but since their other sets seem to nab everyone, I can’t imagine they can’t get all the named cast members to sign cards.

    For examples from their other packs, take a look at their Walking Dead set and their Fringe set (um, this Fringe fan is now upset I didn’t know about this before) and their Castle set.

    Basically, the you have a 1 in 24 chance at getting an autograph card in your pack. This brings back memories of the pure thrill I used to get finding a hologram in my Upper Deck football cards. 😀

    Cryptozoic Obtains Rights to Develop Games for Ender’s Game Movie

    Toy-Fair

    Cryptozoic Entertainment, a company that specializes in licensed games and trading card games such as their extremely popular World of Warcraft trading card game, has obtained the rights to develop a game and trading card game based on the Ender’s Game movie. (confirmed by Ender News)

    At the 2013 Toy Fair in New York City, which was held earlier this week, Cryptozoic had on display the tentative logo for Ender’s Game on display. Unfortunately, although there are products on display under the Ender’s Game sign, those don’t appear to be Ender’s Game related.

    If you haven’t bought their games in the past, their work looks really amazing judging by their current games available for The Walking Dead and the World of Warcraft TCG.

    And WHAT? There are Fringe trading cards? I better not go looking for them otherwise I’ll end up buying them…

    So what do you guys think? Are you looking forward to playing a Battle Room board game?
