Kingdom Hearts TCG Comes To the US

Adding one more flavor to the chocolate and peanut butter combination of Square-Enix and Disney, Fantasy Flight Games—makers of the World of Warcraft, Doom, and Arkham Horror board games and Call of Cthulhu CCG—has announced that they'll be bringing the previously Japan-exclusive Kingdom Hearts trading card game stateside later this year.

ArcLight USA, Inc. and Fantasy Flight Games (FFG) announced today that they will be distributing the English version of the KINGDOM HEARTS Trading Card Game, originally published in Japan by Takara/TOMY Company, Ltd.

“We are excited to help bring this massively popular game to English-speaking audiences,” said Jeremy Stomberg of Fantasy Flight Games. “The players of the videogames will be thrilled with the art and gameplay of this series!”

The first set of the KINGDOM HEARTS Trading Card Game will be released to the book and hobby store market in the 3rd Quarter of 2007, with a preview at GenCon 2007 in August. The game will be released to the mass market in the 4th Quarter of 2007.

While you can read the whole Kingdom Hearts TCG press release over at Fantasy Flight Games' website, the real pages of interest are the game's Japanese page (well worth exploring for a lot of pictures) and this gallery of cards from its initial release.

And yes, they are reading your mind.
