DECIPHER ANNOUNCES BOOSTER DRAFT PACK FOR
THE LORD OF THE RINGS™ TRADING CARD GAME
NEW PRODUCT HITS STORES WORLDWIDE,
ADDS DIVERSITY TO GAMEPLAY
(Norfolk, VA, November 4, 2002) – Tournament play and casual play
for The Lord of the Rings™ Trading Card Game has become a whole
lot more challenging with Decipher's recent release of the Fellowship Draft
Pack. The popular booster draft format brings deck diversity and a level
playing field to players of the award-winning TCG.
Dan Bojanowski, organized play coordinator for Decipher Game Management
Authority (DGMA), stated, "The booster draft format presents a unique deck-building
challenge for players, while allowing the game to remain fun and fast. You
could have a top player pitted against a new player and they are on equal
footing with booster draft."
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: the
"Frodo" companion card; The One Ring card; and an adventure deck of nine
site cards. During the draft, each player receives one Fellowship draft
pack containing 29 cards in addition to three 11-card booster packs in one
of the following configurations: three from the Fellowship of the Ring™
set; two Fellowship of the Ring and one Mines of Moria™; two Fellowship
of the Ring and one Realms of the Elf-lords™; or one Fellowship of
the Ring, one Mines of Moria, and one Realms of the Elf-lords.
The Fellowship Draft Pack, which is available for a MSRP of US $4.50,
contains 29 cards: 1 random Fellowship of the Ring rare, 2 premium (Gandalf
or Aragorn), and 26 other semi-random cards. The Tower Draft Pack will follow
in early 2003.
