Wanting to learn to play in Seattle

[Bigbird206]

Hey y'all, I'm new to the game. Just started collecting but would love to learn how to play. Anyone in the Seattle area that could teach me? Thanks

Hey there! I don't live anywhere near Seattle, but you can check out http://www.gempukku.com/gemp-lotr/ where everyone plays online. You can view games and get a sense of how to play. If you pick up one of the early starter decks (first 3 sets),the books in there do the best job. I'm not aware of any online videos of rules, but it is fairly easy.
