The First Expansion Set for
The Lord Of The Rings™ TCG is on the Way!
Prepare to Travel Through The Mines
Of Moria™!
(NORFOLK, Va., January 17, 2002) - The eagerly-awaited second
installment in Decipher's The Lord of the Rings Trading
Card Game (TCG) is going to press: Gamers and collectors who
have made the new TCG a global phenomenon can begin their
journey into the Mines of Moria in February!
With the first printing of starter decks for the Premiere
Set sold out, Decipher has decided to release Mines of Moria
starter decks in February; booster packs will be released
in early March, as originally scheduled.
The 122-card Mines of Moria set will include the never-before-seen
rare Balrog card, Twilight Ringwraiths, and new "artifact"
cards, such as Gandalf's Staff, Mithril-coat, and the Balrog's
Sword. There are two starter decks ae one featuring Gimli
and the forces of Sauron, the other showcasing a new Gandalf
and the goblins of Moria.
"With The Lord of the Rings TCG starter decks sold
out, timing could not be more perfect for this release," says
Ross Campbell, Decipher senior vice president of manufacturing.
"We have actually had to push up the production schedule for
the Mines of Moria starters so that we could get them on the
shelves in late February and keep up with this overwhelming
demand."
Mines of Moria contains cards for every culture, with an
emphasis on Moria, Shire, Ringwraith, and Dwarven cards. There
are also new versions of some Free Peoples companions, including
Frodo, Sam, Gandalf, and Gimli. The set also contains a complete
parallel foil set.
"The Mines of Moria expansion set contains images from some
of the most exciting sequences in the film," says game designer
Chuck Kallenbach. "With two Balrog cards and a selection of
great new artifacts, gameplay is going to reach a whole new
level."
Mines of Moria is available in two new starter decks, which
contain 9 site cards, 3 random Mines of Moria rares, Frodo,
The One Ring, and a mix of cards from The Fellowship of the
Ring and from Mines of Moria. It is also available in 11-card
booster packs. Recommended retail for the starter decks is
$10.95 and for the booster packs is $3.29.
