November 3, 2006 (SEATTLE) - WizKids Inc., creator of the Battlestar Galactica™ collectable card game (CCG), announced today the release of the game's first expansion: Battlestar Galactica: Betrayal.

"The Battlestar Galactica CCG captures the excitement and intrigue of the hit television miniseries and show, and the Betrayal expansion
greatly extends that fun," said Joe Hauck, Executive Vice President of Sales, Marketing and Product Development at WizKids®. "We are proud to bring one of the most vibrant and dedicated communities of fans this new addition for their Battlestar Galactica card games."

Each Battlestar Galactica: Betrayal Booster Pack (MSRP USD3.49) contains 15 cards, including 11 common cards, three uncommon cards and one rare card. The Betrayal expansion also features 500 hand-autographed, rare Crewman Cally cards, signed by actress Nicki Clyne. The promotion features mail-in cards randomly found inside Boosters that players and collectors can send in to receive the signed cards. There are 165 cards in the Battlestar Galactica: Betrayal set, available in game stores everywhere.

Inspired by the classic series, the extraordinary story of Battlestar Galactica was re-imagined by SCI FI Channel and NBC Universal Television Studio in December 2003 in the form of a four-hour miniseries event. Capturing a new generation of fans, Battlestar Galactica became the most-watched cable miniseries of the year and led SCI FI to continue the saga through a one-hour weekly series. Executive produced by Ronald D. Moore and David Eick, the new series has redefined itself with its gritty realism, and distinguished itself by the intensity and present-day relevance of its stories and the command performances of its ensemble cast. Now one of television's most critically lauded shows, Battlestar Galactica has entered its third season on SCI FI Channel, airing every Friday night at 10:00 PM ET/PT.
