Set
Upper Deck Entertainment (UDE) is proud to offer comic book fans and
trading card game (TCG) players an early look at X-Men, the upcoming
expansion for the Marvel TCG. The Sneak Preview Weekend, with
tournaments occurring on the weekend of February 11-12, will give new
players and veterans alike the opportunity to be among the first to
play with brand-new cards.
Each participant in a Sneak Preview Sealed Pack event will receive five
X-Men boosters and will then use those cards to construct a 30-card
deck to play in the tournament. The top finishers will receive prizes,
and participants will also receive a foil extended art promo card just
for showing up to play. In addition, there will be side Booster Drafts
that run each day, and more Sealed Pack flights (depending on player
registration numbers). For information on a Sneak Preview weekend near
you, please visit http://www.ude.com/sneakpreview.
X-Men expansion spotlights the many heroes and villains from the Marvel
universe. The Marvel TCG brings the comic book universe to life with
cards featuring skilful renderings of its ever-popular icons. Each card
features original art by many of the biggest names in the industry.
The Marvel TCG incorporates the new Vs. SystemTM -- UDE's game engine
that represents epic Super HeroTM battles in a TCG format. In Vs.
System games, each player begins the game with his or her own team of
Mavel Super HeroesTM or Marvel Super VillainsTM, and then tries to
knock out all of his or her opponents. The game is specially designed
to be played at every level of competition, from casual games to
professional-level tournaments, and can be played in a variety of
different formats with any number of players.

INTRODUCTION
The evolution has begun!
Across the world there are people with an extra twist in their genetic
code that gives them superhuman abilities. These mutants are often
feared and despised, forcing them to resort to desperate actions.
However, one group, under the leadership of Professor Charles Xavier,
has banded together to show the world that humans and mutants can live
in peace. Apart, they are hunted and feared - but united they are more
- they are the X-Men!
Join the X-Men and fight against the mutant terrorists, the Brotherhood
of Evil Mutants! Become a member of the Inner Circle of the Hellfire
Club and plot world domination, or strike back from the shadows as one
of the outcast Morlocks. The most popular Marvel characters return to
the Vs. System, the most action-packed Trading Card Games ever!
