NFL Trading-Card Game to Make Fall 2010 Debut

NEW YORK: The 4Kids Entertainment subsidiary TC Digital Games has entered into an agreement with NFL Properties and NFL players to produce a football collectible trading-card game with a digital card online component.

Set for launch to coincide with the start of the 2010 NFL season, the trading-card game will use many of the same online elements contained in the web platform of the Chaotic trading-card game. The game will allow players to compete online using their favorite NFL teams and players. Development for the card design, production and web-based components will be led by Bryan Gannon, the president of TC Digital Games, and the TC Digital team at its San Diego, California, headquarters.

“We are delighted to work with NFL Properties and the NFL players to release a web-based NFL trading-card game," said Alfred R. Kahn, the chairman and CEO of 4Kids Entertainment. "We expect our NFL online trading-card game to provide kids in the U.S., Canada and Mexico with a fun and engaging web experience as their NFL players battle online."
