Booster Packs for SAGA in Retailers

In Canada and US, Silverlode Interactive is launching a retails product for the SAGA online collectible game, in partnership with Alliance Game Distributors, Diamond Comics, ACD Distribution and GTS Distribution.

The game will be available in retails display with the game CD, the registration code and three booster packets, but there will be also the individual booster packs containing a card with the code to be unlocked online in exchange for a virtual pack with 50 different spells and 100 different troops.
The specialty packs in the boosters are five faction packs, dragon packs, double-rare packs and spell packs.

“Hobby Stores who first spurred our imaginations with role playing games have seen a decline in sales with the proliferation of online MMO worlds, and the same decline is now being seen in collectible game sales as more and more games move online. But SAGA turns the tables, providing a retail product to the people who brought us collectible games in the first place,” declared Jason Faller, Executive Producer for Silverlode Interactive.

The pre-orders can be made until February 22 while the products will start shipping on March 14 to the distributors.
