Those are threads you should read. Basically you need to install software and download card images, then you create an account. Once you have it, you can start building decks and playing games. At the start you are given some in-game cash which you can use to buy cards, you are also given additional cash each time you play a game (even if you lose, though you get more when winning). But even when you don't own cards you still can use them to play, there are some people on GCCG who only play, don't collect and don't own a single card.

Bump...


It is 2016.  How long have you been playing LotR TCG?  I'm on 14 years.  I usually get into this game for a few week a year.  It is amazing how long I've enjoyed playing this game.  It is great to find people still playing this game (mostly online).

I started playing on gemp around March 2014, so over two years. It's an incredibly detailed game, a shame how it wound up. Easily my favorite board/card game of all time.

I got the Gandalf & Aragorn starters back in 2001. Played casually with friends and bought a couple boosters now and then. I didn't keep up with the expansions, but in later years I've been getting booster boxes on eBay. I've been focusing alot on the Towers block since that is my favourite of the movies!

I started when I saw some Mines of Moria starter decks in a Comic Shop. That was like in 2014 (I'm not quite sure on that, but something around that time).
 First of I was a bit frustrated because I didn't understand the rulebook (It was in English and I was in 5th grade) so I begged my mom to translate it. That was a bit confusion, but I found a translation of the rulebook online.
 I still couldn't do anything with it because the cards were also English.
 I picked it up a few years later and teached my little brother how to play it. We ever collected since then, but rarely played. Then I found Gemp and started playing there.

That's some intense dedication, Wyrd! Were you already a fan of Lord of the Rings?

[Wyrden333]

Yes, I was (and am to this point) a fan of LotR. I read the books in 3rd or 4th grade and when lego released sets for LotR and Hobbit... let's say I've a lot of it still messing up my room. I started playing the Lotr and Hobbit tabletop when my dad gave me his old figures as well. So yes I consider my self as a LotR fan.
