[QUOTE="johnnype, post: 4404991, member: 1944"] Middle Earth: The Wizards. I own the entire collection. Great game but impossible to find others to play with. It's been a very long time so forgive me if I get some details wrong. Ayrk is correct in saying it is a bit complicated. The game includes location cards where your party moves to and faces challenges. IIRC you can look through your location deck at will. This makes the game a bit clumsy in that you have two decks: locations and your regular deck. I remember at one point ICE released a map that included the locations and that way you could do without the location cards (you still needed your regular deck) and also functioned as a board game but I don't think many people actually used the map. A very large stand alone expansion exists that allows you to play the bad guys (the Nazgul). It's called Middle Earth: the Lidless Eye. The two games are compatible. Finally ICE released two stand alone starters called The Balrog. Very nice but I never got a chance to play them. More info can be found [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Middle-earth_Collectible_Card_Game"]here.[/URL] I really need to dig my cards out of the basement. I'm sitting here looking at some of them and it really takes me back . The artwork is FANTASTIC. Ted Nasmith, Angus McBride and John Howe all contributed to give the game a feel no movie ever could. In fact I know that Peter Jackson relied rather heavily on Ted Nasmith in trying to get the feel of the setting for the movies. [/QUOTE]
