The Chaotic Trading Card Game(TM) -- which integrates a collectible trading card game with a unique online game experience -- is expanding its distribution into new territories.

The Chaotic® "Secrets of the Lost City(TM)" Starter Deck and "Secrets of the Lost City: Alliances Unraveled(TM)" Booster Set were introduced to the trade last month, with the season three Starter Deck positioned to welcome new players to the game, while still challenging more experienced players. Additionally, increased television coverage is driving new fans to the Chaotic Trading Card Game. The Chaotic animated TV series airs six days a week on Cartoon Network, weekly on Disney XD and can be seen Saturday mornings on TheCW4Kids and daily on TELETOON in Canada.

4Kids Entertainment and TC Digital Games will be supporting Chaotic Secrets of the Lost City, the newest release in the Chaotic Trading Card Game series, with a strong television advertising campaign on Cartoon Network in the U.S. and YTV in Canada during the fourth quarter of 2009.

This new release focuses on the story of the lost city of Kaizeph -- the City of the Elements -- and features triumphant veterans from the Chaotic TV show, past card sets, as well as plenty of new faces in the world of Perim.

(NYSE: KDE), the children's entertainment organization that turned the trading card-based properties Pokémon® and Yu-Gi-Oh!® into worldwide sensations, and its subsidiary TC Digital Games LLC, also report that more than 80 million online Chaotic cards have been registered, and over 20 million online visits logged since its October 2007 Beta launch.
