Dragon Booster Trading Card Game Preview

The Dragon Booster Trading Card Game, not scheduled for full release until February 2005, is being previewed by game publisher Score Entertainment at the San Diego Comic-Con, July 22 to 25, 2004.

Dragon Booster is a mythic good versus evil struggle in a classic, yet timeless world where humans and dragons co-exist, according to a press release from Score Entertainment. The hero is Artha Penn, an ordinary teenager who is plunged into an incredible adventure when he is chosen to ride Beaucephalis, the dragon of legend.

When teamed with Beau, Artha is transformed into a mythical hero known as the Dragon Booster, a hero charged with the task of saving the world from an impending war and uniting humans and dragons for once and for all. Dragon Booster is high-octane adventure set against the backdrop of dragon racing where 12-ton reptiles chew up the asphalt at over 200 miles per hour.

Comic-Con attendees will get a first look at excerpts of the Dragon Booster television show and will also be among the first to receive the Dragon Booster TCG promo card pack -- available at the Score Entertainment booth.

This summer, Score Entertainment and Alliance Atlantis will launch a Dragon Booster contest scheduled to run from Aug. 6 to Oct. 23 in the U.S.

During the contest, card promo packs will be given away at the box office of Regal Cinemas across the U.S to 600,000 consumers. Each pack contains one of two playable promo cards and a tip card with instructions on how to enter the contest for prizes like a spot on a future Dragon Booster episode, complete sets of Dragon Booster TCG for life, and more.

Alliance Atlantis also will support the launch of Dragon Booster with a 30-second theatrical trailer in Regal Cinemas and lobbies throughout August and September.

Dragon Booster is expected to debut in the U.S. on Jetix (ABC Family and Toon Disney's branded block) on Oct. 23, 2004, and on CBC in Canada on Oct. 26, 2004.

The Dragon Booster TCG is scheduled to release in February 2005.
