LotR TCG

[Lasgalen]

Decipher announced plans today for the long-term future of The Lord of the Rings™ Trading Card Game. In addition to the first nine sets announced before the game launched in November 2001, nine new expansion sets and collector's products are being added to the list through 2007.

i have never understend those card games:(

[YayBoromir!]

There's always time to learn, Mánaskin! :grin: Online you can find rulebooks and graphical guidelines as to how to play the games, and with a little bit of research you can find out a lot more. :thumbs: TCGs are great fun to play, maybe you can find someone in your area who has the same interests so you can play against each other!

If you're interested in the LoTR TCG, here's where you can find the rulebooks! :)

[Mánaskin]

yeah:blush: i'll check it out and maybe i'll learn something:rolleyes:

[Lasgalen]

And you don't even have to play the game. I don't play very often because I am so short on time. I mostly look at the pictures.

[Glorfindël The Goldën]

Hi im really into the TCG. I collect the cards and have completed all but one set. I love looking at the images that are posted on Decipher before the set is released. For those that play the game what do you think of the Gollum culture? I think it is great how they set it up, with Gollum/Smeagol both helping and hindering the fellowship and the cards look beatiful. Any one here play it?

[Mánaskin]

i have few cards that i got from some magazine and i was hoping that i would got a Legolas or Aragorn or Gollum card but no of course not:(

[Glorfindël The Goldën]

Lol, what cards did you end up getting? I havent brought any cards from the new set yet, but i think ill buy a box of them soon i should have most of the carsd then. Gollum is my priority though i must have him.

[Mánaskin]

i got cards with Farmir, Grima, Gandalf and few Urks:( :rolleyes:

[Glorfindël The Goldën]

What set was this for TTT? or the new one? What card was the rare one?

[Mánaskin]

oohh my i dont know but i think it was for TTT but rare one i dont know, i dont know anything about it
i got it from a magazine and i think it isnt possible to buy those cards in iceland

[Yar]

I have played many colactable card games and I have to say that LOTR is one of the intrestest. Some people say that the game is too long.. It takes 45 minutes to play but they don't know how much fun you can get for those minutes :)

[LoveroftheShire]

Through to 2007:( .
My CC won't be able to take that kind of beating. Im still way back trying to collect the foils for Fotr lol

PS: Don't play the game but love the cards:)

lol your not alone there LoTS! I find it hard to actually find peeps that have the cards let alone peeps that wanna play, so it's fair that you don't play the game.

Have you any idea from what source will Decipher get the pictures of the new sets?
I've read (or heard) that such characters and events (and conditions, of course lol ) will appeare on them too which are not in the films. (e.g. Tom Bombadil)

[Steve the Great]

And this is the card (or group of cards) which I can hardly wait:
Cards with Tengwars (http://www.decipher.com/lordoftherings/cardlists/premium/large/LOTR-WR01050.html)

[Lasgalen]

Those Tengwar ones look really awesome. Can't wait.

[Steve the Great]

Here (http://www.decipher.com/lordoftherings/cardlists/anthology-fotr/index.html) is a well-detailed list of these Tengwar-cards

[Lasgalen]

I copied and pasted this from ToRN
Decipher Card - Denethor!
7/20/03, 6:11 am EST - Demosthenes

First of the RoTK cards for the Decipher TCG, this image of Denethor was released just the other day at Comic Con 2003. If you haven't already seen it floating around, take a look!

[YayBoromir!]

Denethor looks really old and haggard in that picture. I wonder what scene it is from?
The Tengwar LoTR cards look awesome - I couldn't resist taking a look at the Boromir one lol

[Steve the Great]

Who knows, why? lol
I think it's from the "Denethor's pyre" scene (when he spilt oil on himself)

[Mánaskin]

Denethor look really old yeah and scary too

[Steve the Great]

Decipher will release from August to December a series of Premium cards, and in the end, the colectors may get 4 bonus cards with characters that didn't appear in the movies. I think, the greatest star of these cards will be Tom Bombadil! :)

[Steve the Great]

Decipher opens (http://www.decipher.com/indexes/index-lotrking.html) the page of the upcoming expansion set to LOTR TCG. So we can wait the announcement of new cards to the Return of the King (with lots of SPOILERS, I hope)... :whoohoo:

[Steve the Great]

A new card has been revealed by Decipher from the ROTK expansion: Gandalf: Defender of the West (http://www.decipher.com/lordoftherings/cardlists/premium/large/LOTR-EN00026.html)

[Sorrome]

The current promotional card list for ROTK set:

Aragorn, Captain of Gondor (0 P 23)
Legolas, Elven Stalwart (0 P 24)
Denethor, Wizened Steward (0 P 25)
Gandalf, Defender of the West (0 P 26)
Frodo, Resolute Hobbit (0 P 27)

Hoping to get the starter decks(Aragorn & Eomer) and a booster box. Whoo.

[Steve the Great]

So it begins... ;)
Decipher has started to reveal the cards of ROTK, so we can get new card-images each day :whoohoo:
The first cards are the following:
Hobbits are Dead (http://shop.decipher.com/TCG/Card.aspx?gameID=7&cardID=2417)
Úlairë Nelya, Black-Mantled Wraith (http://shop.decipher.com/TCG/Card.aspx?gameID=7&cardID=2572) (Cool Nazgúl-card :thumbs: )

[Ereinion]

The Nazgul one is really great! :thumbs: Hope they make a Faramir card! :faramir:

[Radagast]

they dont sell D. Cards in Denmark do they sell them in sweden?

[Steve the Great]

Did you mean that you couldn't find any shops whwew you can buy LOTR TCG's? :huh:
I found you a site (http://www.midgaardgames.com/) that sells cards (Cardgames menu) and also has a long list of retailers (in Denmark and Sweden) :grin:

[Steve the Great]

Great new card:

btw. Does anybody deal with Decipher's online LOTR TCG (http://lotrtcg.decipher.com)

[Lasgalen]

What a great picture. Thanks for sharing.

[Defenderofchaos0]

Yah they use that pic for the main screen of the online tcg
beta-test

[Devnet Farwood]

I bought a packet, though I'm more into Magic Cards, but there are some amazing cards. I don't have the Tengwar ones yet, but I really want them

[Alcarohtar]

I'm into Magic too. I think it's one of the best TCG ever made :thumbs:

[Igtica]

Ooo magic cards! Hey I think someone made a thread to do with them. Maybe it would be better to discuss them there. I had some at one point, but not very many. I can't remember what happened to them :p

[Steve the Great]

I read a very interesting announcement about releasing Decipher-cards for an 'alternative ME':
Gaze Into the Mirror: The Lord of the Rings TCG Reflections Is Coming
What if Galadriel had accepted the One Ring from Frodo and carried it to Mount Doom? What if Elrond had chosen a fellowship of Gondor Men to carry the burden? Choices like these are about to become part of The Lord of the Rings TCG.
(...)
The 48 brand-new foil cards will include new Rings of Power, new Palantiri, and other powerful artifacts from Middle-earth, and will introduce "alternate Ring-bearers." With this new game-changing mechanic, selected companions from various cultures will possess the ability to be your Ring-bearer from the start of the game, offering exciting new options in deck-building.

In addition to the all-new gameplay foil cards, foil reprints of the four preview "book cards" from the Countdown Collection – Tom Bombadil, Goldberry, Radagast The Brown, and Glorfindel – will be included in the mix.

[Devnet Farwood]

Ohhh that sounds interesting. Sounds like I want those :D

[Elvenkind]

I have the Tengwar set and the script is beautiful. They just came out with the Two Towers Anthology set in stores/online. It's worth investing in, especially if you're a serious collector. I still have to complete ROTK before starting on Seige of Gondor. I did get the 2 starter decks with Merry & Pippin, there are some really great rares in there.

[Steve the Great]

Here (http://www.theonering.net/scrapbook/group/1360) are the first cards featuring characters that didn't appeare in the movies! (Glorfindel, Radagast, Goldberry and... yes... Tom Bombadil!!!) :o
(btw. thanks for the link, Sil)

[Radagast]

WOW, Radagast was there!!! He he he..

I have played a little Magic Cards a while ago.. and I was thinking about buying some of theese cards... Is it as fun as Magic?

[Frodo]

I haven't played Magic, but this is one of the Best Card game out right now. You can try it out by going here. http://decipher.com/lordoftherings/downloads/index.html

[Elvenkind]

Are we allowed to post cards we want to trade in this group? I am fairly new to WOTR and don't want to make anyone mad.

[Steve the Great]

Well, I think you should PM YayBoromir! (http://www.warofthering.net/forums/vbulletin225/upload/member.php?s=&action=getinfo&userid=1431), the moderator of this forum about this issue...
