DECIPHER TRADING CARD GAME STUDIO
DECIPHER ANNOUNCES NEXT STEP
IN BOOSTER DRAFT FOR
THE LORD OF THE RINGS™ TRADING CARD GAME
TOWER DRAFT PACKS TO HIT STORES WORLDWIDE IN FEBRUARY
 (Norfolk,
VA, February 12, 2003)–Booster draft for players of The Lord of
the Rings™ Trading Card Game is about to catch up with The Two
Towers™ set with the all-new Tower Draft Pack. Following on the
success of the Fellowship Draft Pack last October, Decipher will release
the Tower Draft Pack in mid February.
The popular booster draft format, where players pick cards from a common
pool of cards, brings deck diversity and a level playing field to players
of the award-winning TCG. While sharing similarities with sealed deck play,
booster draft relies on a participant's deck-building skill and play style
in order to choose – and counter-choose – cards wisely. In this
balanced play environment, players will have to utilize different strategies
every time they play, creating a new experience with each game.
 With
booster draft for The Lord of the Rings™ Trading Card Game,
players select cards from a regular booster pack one card at a time, making
a deck from the cards they collect and adding the following: a "Frodo" companion
card; a One Ring card; and an adventure deck of nine site cards, all from
the Tower Block. During the draft, each player will receive one Tower draft
pack containing 29 cards in addition to three 11-card booster packs in one
of the following configurations: three from the Two Towers™ set; or
two Two Towers and one Battle of Helm's Deep™. When Ents of Fangorn™,
the next expansion set for The Two Towers™, is released in July, the
following configurations may also be used: two Two Towers™ and one
Ents of Fangorn™; or one Two Towers™, one Battle of Helm's Deep™,
and one Ents of Fangorn™.
The Tower Draft Pack, which will be available in February for a MSRP of
US $4.50, contains 29 cards: 1 random Two Towers rare and 28 cards from
The Two Towers block. The King Draft Pack will follow in late 2003.
