Verticon Air Battle Arena™ (FamilyFun T.O.Y. Winner) Mid Air Combat & Strategy Role Playing Game with 4 Warriors and 12 Weapons
From FamilyFun Magazine: "In this tester favorite, the combat like action of traditional trading card games takes flight. Players arm their "warriors", place them in the arena, and flip the switch to activate the airstream. The balls hover in the air and bounce off one another until all but one is knocked out of play."
Overview:
Turn on the airstreams, arm your warriors with strategic snap-on weapons and unleash them into mid-air battle! Experience the magic of mid-air combat with Verticon, the first aerial battle system. Go head-to-head with 3D warriors that fight in flight. Combat commences when you release your palm-sized battling sphere into an inverted dome perched atop a foot-high air-blowing base. The Verticon warriors hover over the dome, floating and fighting in its powerful jet stream until one warrior is knocked out of the airflow and plummets to defeat.
Some of the strategy and game play of Verticon was developed by Lone Shark Games, some of the minds behind the role playing games, Magic: The Gathering and the ever-popular Pokemon. With varying levels of difficulty, Verticon appeals to the 7-year-old child looking for simple, straight-forward fun, as well as to the preteen in search of advanced competition. Prepare your warrior for battle by thoughtfully choosing and arranging its armor. Different battle gear alters your advantages by directly affecting the weight and flight-height of your warrior. Customize your floating fighter's arsenal by mixing and matching weapons to develop your own secret battle strategy. Collect all the warriors you can for special skills!
We strongly recommend that you also purchase the Sound Battle Attachment for the Air Battle Arena as it enhances game play!
The Verticon Story:
In the year 4050, a cataclysmic event rocked a far away planet. Survivors were scattered far across the globe. Clans formed to fight for territory, food and life. To protect themselves they battled in armored, floating spheres that were generated by massive lava pools found across the planet. Years passed, and the inhabitants became self-sufficient. The need to battle for survival was reduced, but the thirst for competition was very much alive. Clans continued to fight, but for sport, not survival. This sport is called... VERTICON!
Plugs into the wall, no batteries required! Works with US power only (120 volts).

Our 3 grandsons love this game, and other children in the family do too. We just purchased the team attachment and more warrior packs for a 9th birthday present. It's simplicity makes it ideal to play, then do something else and go right back to the game or start another round. Fantastic job; great imaginative toy that doesn't involve killing and maiming with all the gore!
