Announcing The Lord of the Rings TCG The Two Towers Anthology

Decipher is pleased to announce the second in a series of anthologies based on The Lord of the Rings™ TCG. Similar to the popular The Fellowship of the Ring Anthology, The Two Towers Anthology will include 18 Tower block cards reprinted in the Elvish Tengwar alphabet:

• The One Ring, Answer to All Riddles
• Legolas, Dauntless Hunter
• Aragorn, Wingfoot
• Sméagol, Slinker
• Gollum, Stinker
• Gríma, Wormtongue
• Saruman, Black Traitor
• Frodo, Courteous Halfling
• Grishnákh, Orc Captain
• Treebeard, Earthborn
• Gandalf, The White Wizard
• Shadowfax
• Úlairë Toldëa, Winged Sentry
• Desert Lord
• Uglúk, Servant of Saruman
• Easterling Captain
• Hides
• Simbelmynë

These 18 cards, hand-lettered by noted New Zealand artist Daniel Reeve, are sure to be a collector's delight. Reeve, the official calligrapher and cartographer of The Lord of the Rings movies, has beautifully rendered the same Tengwar symbols used in the films and seen on such works as the inscription on The One Ring and the pages of The Book of Mazarbul.

In addition to the 18 Tengwar cards, the Tower Anthology will contain one The Two Towers 63-card starter deck (randomly chosen from Aragorn and Théoden), six 11-card Tower block booster packs (two each of The Two Towers, Battle of Helm's Deep, and Ents of Fangorn), one 29-card Tower Draft Pack, and a booklet with a comprehensive card list of the three sets and English text for the Tengwar cards. All will be contained in a sturdy collector's card box with a capacity of over 600 cards. The Tower Anthology will be available January 28, 2004, at an MSEP of $36.00, and will be followed in September 2004 by The Return of the King Anthology.
