Konami Digital Entertainment Gets Set to Bring it for Four Days Straight at Gen Con Indianapolis August 15-18

Attendees Can Get into Character with Personalized Yu-Gi-Oh! TRADING CARD GAME Token Cards and Purchase an Exclusive Game Mat

El Segundo, CA (August 8, 2013) – The masses of game enthusiasts converging on Gen Con 2013 will want to make sure they carve out time to see what Konami Digital Entertainment, Inc. (Konami), the makers of the best-selling trading card game ever, the Yu-Gi-Oh! TRADING CARD GAME (TCG), is bringing to this year's show. Konami will be featuring the Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG at booth #601 and providing plenty of entertaining and engaging activities for attendees to experience at the con from August 15th – August 18th.

This year, attendees will want to make the Konami booth their first stop because the company will be selling a must-get for the Gen Con crowd, an exclusive Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG double game mat! A limited quantity will be available for $30 during the show. Also fans will want to create their own exclusive one-of-a-kind Yu-Gi-Oh! Token Card. They can choose from five different card backgrounds with characters, including favorites like Yusei, Jaden, Yugi and Yuma – each suitable for use during Duels!

Fans can purchase Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG products at Gen Con, including the recently released Battle Pack 2: War of the Giants and Number Hunters! As a bonus, for Gen Con attendees who purchase a minimum $10 worth of product, Konami is offering a Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG Score pad.

With Token Card in hand, attendees will want to make their way to a game table and get a Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG demonstration from the experts. There will also be a $3 off coupon for Super Starter: V for Victory (redeemable only at Konami's booth during Gen Con) in the show book. Additionally, they can snap a photo with the oversized Utopia statue as a show keepsake! Electronic gamers can also get their Yu-Gi-Oh! fix at one of the upright gaming stations where they can play Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's Decade Duels Plus on the PlayStation®3 computer entertainment system or the Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system from Microsoft, or Yu-Gi-Oh! BAM on iOS platforms.

Feeling lucky? Konami will be holding a Duel the Master competition, in the Wabash Room, where each aspiring Master will get the chance to spin the wheel – to determine which Deck they'll play – and then battle head-to-head against a Master. If an attendee knocks off a Master they can spin the wheel again to determine a prize, though everyone will get one booster pack just for participating.

In addition to the activities listed above, Konami will have exciting interactive carnival games to play in the Wabash Room. Family members can try to throw a bean bag through a hole in a Yu-Gi-Oh! character standee, try their hand at a Yu-Gi-Oh! branded game of BINGO or Duel on an oversized game mat utilizing large Yu-Gi-Oh! cards from the upcoming structure deck, Saga of Blue-Eyes White Dragon which will be released in September.

For the avid Duelist or players looking for a more formal gameplay experience, Konami will host a variety of Yu-Gi-Oh!
