Score Entertainment At Anime Expo® 2008

May 28, 2008 (Arlington, TX) ­ Score Entertainment, a leading manufacturer of premium trading card games, will have a huge presence at Anime Expo® 2008 in Los Angeles (July 3-6, 2008; Los Angeles Convention Center; www.anime-expo.org), promoting the BLEACH Trading Card Game, whose license is granted by VIZ Media, with a panel, tournament and fan appreciation party.

First up is the Score Entertainment panel "Anime and Gaming." Hosted by trading card game designers Aik Tongtharadol (BLEACH), Garret Wilkinson (InuYasha) and Marketing Coordinator Joshua Morris, this panel gives fans a behind-the-scenes look at how Score Entertainment produces its trading card games and how to go about getting a job in the games industry. The panel ends with an open Q&A session and prizes will be passed out throughout the event.

Next is a returning fan favorite from last year, the BLEACH Fan Appreciation Party. This event invites BLEACH fans of all ages to gather and learn to play the Bleach Trading Card Game or win prizes through raffles and trivia contests. The highlight of last year's party was the surprise guest appearance of the lead voice actor of BLEACH, who gratefully signed cards for some very lucky fans. Everyone who attends this event will walk away with some free BLEACH swag, while supplies last.

The coup de grace of the weekend will be the Bleach TCG Squad 12 Regional Tournament. Anyone can bring their own deck and enter this free tournament for a chance to win prizes, including a Nintendo Wii and DS Lite. Bleach TCG demos will be given at the Score Entertainment booth during exhibit hall hours, where players can not only learn the game but also purchase cards to compete in the tournament. Everyone who enters the tournament will receive participation prizes.

Anime Expo® 2008 runs from July 3 ­ 6 at the Los Angeles Convention Center. To learn how to play the Bleach TCG and for card previews, message boards, card libraries and more visit OfficialBleachTCG.com. For general information on BLEACH please visit Bleach.viz.com.
