NEW ONLINE CCG LAUNCHES

Star Chamber, an online sci-fi CCG, launches November 10, 2003

CHARLOTTESVILLE, VA. November 10, 2003 - Nayantara Studios LLC announced today that it has released a new online collectible card game titled Star Chamber. This is the first game by Nayantara Studios.

"We've developed an exciting game engine and playing environment," said Paul Dennen, Star Chamber's designer. "With nine alien races, hundreds of cards, and three different ways to win, players have an incredible variety of strategic options. Achieving game balance was extremely important to us."

"One of the great things about Star Chamber is the community," said Dennen. "It's a dynamic environment in which every type of player can have fun. Players can choose to play casually for free, buy cards to collect and trade, or even subscribe to a premium monthly service and compete in league tournaments."

Star Chamber is both a CCG and a turn-based strategy game set in a not-so-distant future where members of the Galactic Republic struggle for power. Players deploy a mixture of military, political, and cultural assets, and attempt to achieve one of the game's multiple victory conditions.

Nayantara Studios LLC is a small, independent game development company whose mission is to create high-quality strategy games.
