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.
