Las Vegas, NV (August 2, 2010) -- Today Petroglyph announced the immediate availability for the Heroes of Graxia TM deck-building card game, the Guardians of Graxia TM board game, and the Panzer General: Russian Assault TM board game, sequel to Panzer General: Allied Assault TM .

"With the success of Panzer General: Allied Assault board game, we are proud to present these new board and card games, independently developed and distributed by Petroglyph,” said Chuck Kroegel, General Manager. “Gen Con 2010 gives us an excellent opportunity to share with the public these three new games that continue Petroglyph's experience in board game development."

Petroglyph is celebrating the new releases with a contest at Geekdo.com which will run for two weeks, starting today. A special low rate for each game will also be exclusively available to Gen Con attendees at the company's Booth #2225. Chuck Kroegel and Daniel Kroegel, Lead Designers for the games, will be on-hand to showcase the new products.

"While Heroes of Graxia and Guardians of Graxia share an intriguing fantasy-strategy background, they are unique in one being a Deck-building Card Game and the other a Board Game.” said Daniel Kroegel, Lead Designer for Heroes of Graxia. "Eager to dominate several of your friends in a fast-paced card game? Heroes of Graxia is for you. Interested in the solo experience or going one-on-one on a full board game layout?
