Away Team Packs In Demand:
How You Can Get A Pack

Since the announcement of the preview of the Away Team pack of premium cards, Star Trek Customizable Card Game's Marcus Certa (The Emissary) and Kyle Heuer (The Traveler) have received a multitude of player email messages asking how they can get their own Away Team pack containing The Traveler and The Emissary cards.

Hey, it's nice to be wanted! Here is our plan for the next few months, outlining several ways in which you wil be able to get hold of them. When they are known, we're mentioning specific dates.

Preview Period May 8-June 11
Beginning May 8, Marcus and Kyle will personally distribute Away Team packs through their personal appearances at Cons, gaming events and tournaments. Since the initial demand for the cards is great, please respect that The Emissary and The Traveler must limit distribution to one pack per person. Check the Star Trek CCG experts' tour schedules. Note: Away Team cards are not tournament legal in sanctioned events during the preview period.

June 12 & 13
Decipher will introduce the Away Team card pack to sanctioned tournament play through a worldwide series of Star Trek CCG tournaments (Official Tournament Sealed Deck format), June 12 & 13. Plenty of notice will be given here on the Decipher Web site, with a special page devoted to the list of events. At these tournaments, which will be directed by a Star Trek CCG Ambassador, a limited number of cards will be available for distribution to players (one pack per person). As with other Decipher special focus tournaments, pre-registration will be your best bet. The Away Team cards will become tournament legal for all Star Trek CCG players June 12.

After June 12
An upcoming issue of Scrye magazine will contain the Away Team pack in a special insert. We do not have exact details of when this issue will be available but it will be sometime in the summer.

We will also offer these cards as a mail-in for a limited period of time, beginning sometime in the summer ( as we have done from time to time with the Star Wars CCG Rebel Leader cards).

The distribution of the Away Team packs will not be limited to North America.

Please, do not email or call Decipher asking that the cards be sent to you. The mail-in offer has not started yet. We will broadcast new information as it is known.
