The Force of Will trading card game is delivering more content this October.  Two new themed starter decks will be arriving at stores entitled Arrogant Swallowtail and Wings of Anger.  The decks will contain 50 cards, a play sheet, a rules sheet, and a game manual.  Then the booster packs that will be released to support the decks will be called Advent of Demons, which will have an additional 200 cards.  These decks are scheduled for an October 20 release, but if your gaming store supports Force of Will, there are going to be free demo decks at participating stores starting mid July through the end of the month.  So all your fans of TCG’s be sure to ask you stores if they will be receiving the demo decks.  Thanks to ICv2 for letting us know what’s coming soon to our gaming shops.
