December 7, 2005 (SEATTLE) - WizKids Inc., creator of the runaway hit games HeroClix® and Pirates of the Spanish Main™, is proud to announce Tsuro: The Game of the Path, the company's first board game, is sold out from WizKids' warehouses!
"This rapid depletion of our stock is indicative of a very strong holiday demand for Tsuro," said Mike Samora, Vice-President of Sales and Marketing at WizKids Inc. "Retailers are reporting very strong sales, no doubt buoyed by the game's unique style of play and appeal to everyone." While WizKids is planning on going back to press with the game, it has the potential to become quite scarce in the 2005 holiday season considering how high demand for the game is. Reprints will not be available until 2006.
Retailers agree that they are having a hard time keeping Tsuro on the shelves. "It's insanely easy to sell," said Heather Barnhorst, manager of Attactix, a game store in Aurora, Colorado. Players can learn the game in less than a minute, and games take approximately ten minutes to complete, making it perfect for families and groups of friends alike.
While WizKids has sold out, the company's distributors have some quantities of Tsuro left for retailers to purchase.
Founded by 25-year game-industry veteran Jordan Weisman, WizKids is a Seattle-based game developer and publisher dedicated to creating tabletop games driven by imagination. Its MechWarrior® and HeroClix CMGs and Pirates and Rocketmen™ CSGs are among the most successful games on the market today, and the company has sold hundreds of millions of game pieces worldwide.
