January 29, 2007 (SEATTLE) – WizKids Inc., creator of runaway hit games like
HeroClix® and Pirates of the Spanish Main, announced today the Pirates at
Ocean’s Edge constructible strategy game (CSG) set, which continues the

mystical fantasy world of Pirates of Davy Jones Curse.

Pirates at Ocean’s Edge features new sea monsters like titanic crabs,
prehistoric sharks and awesome sea dragons, which plague the unknown waters
at the edge of the globe. Pirates everywhere have begun using junk ships
from the orient, swift windcatchers and sturdy catamarans. In addition,
treacherous whirlpools make navigating the high seas a challenge that only
the most skilled pirate would attempt.

"Pirates at Ocean¹s Edge maximizes the fun of constructing incredible sea
creatures and awesome ships," said WizKids® EVP of Sales, Marketing and
Product Development, Joe Hauck. "Destroying your opponent’s fleet has never
been this satisfying."

Pirates at Ocean¹s Edge releases worldwide in April 2007 and will be
available in traditional Game Packs and never-before-seen two-player Mega
Packs. Traditional Game Packs (MSRP $3.99) each contain two ships or one
ship and one sea monster, one whirlpool/island card, one crew or treasure
card, game rules and one mini-die. Two-player Mega Packs (MSRP $8.99) each
