Introducing Reflections II: Expanding The Galaxy
Decipher Combines Two Of Its Most Anticipated Products To Create The Most Exciting Star Wars CCG Set Of The Year

Norfolk, Va., November 6, 2000 - Decipher has just announced the upcoming release of Reflections II: Expanding the Galaxy, a new Star Wars Customizable Card Game product that combines the excitement of the successful Reflections products with the innovative storylines from some of the best novels in the Star Wars expanded universe.

As a result, material developed for the previously announced Shadows of the Empire(tm) expansion set has been incorporated into Reflections II.

Every pack of Reflections II will contain an assortment of cards never equaled before in a single product for Star Wars CCG. Featured cards include the following:

Foil Cards
Each pack will showcase an all-new foil card. Reflections II features a total of 100 foils, which are all beautiful new presentations of favorite rare cards, including - for the first time - cards from Decipher's Enhanced products. Out of those hundred cards, four are ultra-rare; this means that players and collectors are twice as likely to open a pack containing an ultra-rare as they were with the first Reflections product.

Expanded Universe Cards
The 28 different expanded universe cards found in Reflections II are cards based on elements from selected Star Wars novels. Featured works include Steve Perry's Shadows of the Empire, Timothy Zahn's Thrawn Trilogy and Michael A. Stackpole's X-Wing: Rogue Squadron. There will be one expanded universe card inserted in every pack of Reflections II. Your very first pack might yield Corran Horn, the Outrider or Grand Admiral Thrawn! All the expanded universe cards are considered rare, and their gameplay was designed accordingly.

Combo Cards
Fusing the functionality of two previously published cards together on one card, combo cards pack more punch for the same space without making their ancestors obsolete. Each pack will feature one of 26 different combo cards, which offer a variety of pairs: characters, effects, interrupts, etc. Every combo card frees up one precious slot in a Star Wars CCG deck, allowing deck builders to virtually go beyond the 60-card limit. Players will definitely want to take advantage of this powerful new option.

And Beyond
The remainder of the cards in every pack of Reflections II will be a random mix of cards from previous expansion sets and enhanced products, which makes it possible for a pack to contain several rares! And to add even more excitement, Decipher has included cards from the Japanese version of the game! That will be very exciting to all players and collectors!

As a bonus, Decipher is also packaging Reflections II with four exclusive, bonus foil display box toppers and one very special foil case topper. Every display box will yield, at random, either Han With Heavy Blaster Pistol, Leia With Blaster Rifle, Boba Fett With Blaster Rifle or Obi-Wan With Lightsaber. And within each case will await a gorgeous foil version of the Japanese Darth Vader card! These bonus cards will be a real treat for collectors and will add a distinctive flair to any deck.

Reflections II: Expanding the Galaxy will be presented in 18-card packs, 30-pack display boxes, at a MSRP of $5 per pack. Release date for Reflections II is scheduled for December 2000.
