Hanover, MD - November 17, 2003 - CCG Workshop has licensed the Testimony of Jacob Hollow From Third World Games, Inc. for online play. This traditional card game was released March 2003, and will soon be available to play on CCG Workshop's website. The Testimony of Jacob Hollow allows up to 6 players to take the role of an investigator exploring the town of Castle Bay. Players try and avoid spirits, fiends and abominations while trying to gain investigation points to further their quest in solving the mystery of the town. Players need to balance both their "Mind" and "Life" statistics, as if either of them reach 0, then they are out of the game! Ed Mittelstedt, CCG Workshop Owner and Core Developer says, "We have now licensed two fantastic products from Third World Games. Testimony of Jacob Hollow is a game like no other in this genre. It's a card game that has ties to the Resident Evil or Silent Hill line of games for the consoles - a creepy atmosphere, lots of exploring, and facing monstrosities you wouldn't wish on your worst enemy! We are so excited to get it online that we started development before it was even announced!" Michael Nickoloff, Chief Operating Officer of Third World Games says, "We are happy with Portable Adventures (our first online licensed game) and CCG Workshop, so it seemed like a natural fit to license this game to them as well! Eager fans will be able to play The Testimony of Jacob Hollow with others all around the world and at any time!" About Third World Games, Inc.

Allows Players to Control the Book of the Dead in Tom Jolly's Necromaster Westminster, CA - March 29, 2004 - Third World Games, Inc. announces the publishing of Necromaster, a traditional card game designed by industry great, Tom Jolly. Necromaster is played with 60 cards, a set of special counters (included in the box), and a PVC tray to hold all of the components. Established artists Jeremy Dale and Levon Jihanian have uniquely illustrated each card. In Necromaster, players summon creatures from a graveyard by playing a Necromancer. Each turn, a player may play card from their hand (raising a new creature). In addition, each creature can either get a 'dead point', which can translate into 'willpower', or can attack another creature on the board (to slow opponents down). Three willpower points allows a player to control the Book of the Dead and he or she wins the game! Frank Bustamante, Chief Executive Officer of Third World Games, Inc. says, "Tom Jolly has designed another winning game! Like Wiz-War, Necromaster allows players to pursue their own strategies to control the Book of the Dead while sending other creatures after those controlled by opponents. These game-play elements are trademarks of Tom Jolly's games." Necromaster will be available in hobby gaming retail stores worldwide in August 2004. Product code: 3WG0350. Ages 12 & up. Games last between 20 & 40 minutes. Retail price: TBD. About Third World Games, Inc.

Announce Two New Portable Adventures Sets Westminster, CA - March 29, 2004 - Adding to the wildly popular Portable Adventures line of traditional games, Third World Games, Inc. announces two new sets: Iron Maidens & Firestorm. Iron Maidens features Dr. Neurotica and the band of her evil clones, the Iron Maidens. Players play a specific spy; their job is to infiltrate the Maidens, sneak into Dr. Neurotica's moonbase and stop her before she takes over the world. This set's theme is taken from the popular James Bond and Austin Powers spy movies. Industry game designer, Michael Nickoloff, created the Firestorm set. This science fiction-themed set features the evil, power hungry Muero and their unrelentless attacks on the peaceful Soven. The Human race along with the noble Dysori join both sides in order to stop the conflict. This set features a new "Stuff" card: Ships. These cards give a bonus to all characters in a player's group! In addition, Ships are featured during Adventures; however, they can get wounded and discarded as well! Players will have to balance the risk of having a powerful ship in their group with the possibility of it being destroyed in an Adventure and damaging all of his or her characters. Famed Battle of the Bands designer, Dan Smith, created the Portable Adventures line in 2003. In this game, players control a "ME" character that represents the leader of their group as they go though the game on different adventures. Players add other characters to their group, give them genre-specific stuff cards and can play encounter cards during adventures. At the end of each adventure, the group with the highest total wins the adventure and takes control it; only seven adventure points are needed to win a game! All sets are completely compatible with each other and the rules transfer from one set to another. Each set comes with various different ways to play the game and to combine sets for a unique experience! Portable Adventures Sets 03 & 04 will be available in hobby gaming retail stores worldwide in December 2004. Product codes: 3WG0304 & 3WG0306. Ages 12 & up. Games last between 30 & 45 minutes.

Announce Battle of the Bands: Encore Edition Westminster, CA - March 29, 2004 - Fans have been clamoring for an encore - we have listened! Battle of the Bands: Encore Edition is much more than a reprint of the sold-out basic set; it's a whole new game! The Encore Edition has 120 cards: 15 new cards including 10 never seen before anywhere! The box also comes with four dice and a PVC tray to hold both your Encore and Backstage Pass cards! We pass our cost savings along to our customers as well: the game comes in a larger box and retails for $17.95. Battle of the Bands is a traditional card game for 2 to 4 players. Each person assumes the role of a "ME" character; this card represents themselves as they front their own band as they try and make it big! Players add other band members to their group, from the powerful, "The King?" to the wacky, "Empress Hole Punch". Each player competes in gigs against the other players at the table - Monkey wrenches and guest stars add to the mix. The player with the highest band total after the audience approval wins the gig and a certain number of "Superstar Points". Eight Superstar Points wins the game in a four-person game. Frank Bustamante, Chief Executive Officer of Third World Games, Inc. comments, "We are excited to print a new version of the game! New fans will be able to jump right into the excitement with this base set. Our existing fans will be able to get all-new cards that are completely compatible with Battle of the Bands: Backstage Pass." Dan Smith of SMIF Ink. comments, "The first edition of Battle of the Bands was not exactly what I envisioned. With the Encore Edition, it will finally be presented as I intended. If you've ever wanted to be a rock star, if you love music or if you are slightly twisted…Battle of the Bands: Encore Edition will become your card game of choice. It's fun, funny and never plays the same way twice!" Battle of the Bands:Encore Edition will be available in hobby gaming retail stores worldwide in April 2004. Product code: 3WG0204. Ages 12 & up. Games last between 30 & 45 minutes. Retail price: $17.95. About Third World Games, Inc.
