LOTR: Middle-earth The Wizards Starter Set


"Do not meddle in the affairs of wizards, for they are subtle and quick to anger."



Middle-earth The Wizards Starter Set is a two player game based on J.R.R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit produced in 1997 by the Iron Crown Enterprises in the United States, distributed in the United Kingdom too. In my opinion is the best card game of the LOTR saga, strong rules, full playable map where you can freely roam and cool art for every single card illustration. The game can take a bit too long to end but it's really challenging and it won the Gama Origins Award for best card game in the 1995.
Description:
Come to Middle-earth as Gandalf the Grey or Saruman the White. Compete with your fellow Wizards for the honor and glory of leading the Free Peoples in their struggles against Sauron, the Dark Lord.
This ready-to-play, two-player product contains everything you need to learn to play the award winning Middle-earth: The Wizards. Then you can continue to explore Tolkien's world by using these cards to play again and again-each time facing different challenges and adventures.
Contains:
  • A 60-card ready-to-play "Gandalf" deck and a 60-card ready-to-play "Saruman" deck.
  • A full-color Middle-earth play map and two full-color player sheets.
  • An Initial Adventure Guide that leads two players step by step through a detailed sample game.
  • A short, quick-reference Abbreviated Starter Rules book and a large print Complete Rules Book.
  • Two "burning eye" six-sided dice, two "Hobbit" company markers, and two marshalling point markers.
For 2 players. Ages 12 and up.
Cards provided are a selection of fixed, common and uncommon cards from Middle-earth: The Wizards and Middle-earth: The Dragons sets.

Extra: 
With the option to play as a single card game, or to mix it with the collectible LOTR card game, this set is a very good purchase if you are a Lord of the Rings lover; anyway it's pretty rare to find and can easily reach 70$ - 60€.
