GAMERS DESCEND ON INDIANAPOLIS FOR DREAMBLADE™

INDIANAPOLIS (August 13, 2006)  -- The stakes were high this weekend in Indianapolis as hundreds of gamers descended on the GenCon game convention at the Indiana Convention Center to compete for a cut of $20,000 being offered in the Dream Series™, the competitive tournament circuit for the popular DREAMBLADE™ sci-fi miniatures game from Wizards of the Coast, subsidiary of Hasbro, Inc. . Sam Black - a 24-year old native of Madison, Wisconsin - captured top honors at the event, which is one of over two hundred tournaments held throughout North America that collectively offer in excess of half a million dollars in cash prizes for competitive play in the recently launched game.

“GenCon was more than just the first-ever consumer buying opportunity for this hotly anticipated game,” said Ginger Ahn, Brand Manager for DREAMBLADE™ at Wizards of the Coast.  “Registration for the five hundred spots open in the special $20,000 launch event put us at a near capacity level.”

Set in a dystopian near-future in which powerful psychics battle for control of the human subconscious, DREAMBLADE™ is an evolutionary leap in collectable miniatures gaming that features innovative strategy, a robust tournament schedule and strikingly detailed miniatures.

In addition to their weekend cash haul, Black and other top contenders will have the opportunity to advance to the $50,000 August 2007 DREAMBLADE™ Championship, the culminating event in the annual Dream Series tournament circuit.
