Speaking of cards, my group and I had just gotten back from Homecoming and the 10 of us walking back to his house when we saw this sale. So I told them I was going to check it out real quick (because you never know what you will find). Anyway, I found this plastic card-container. I opened it up, and, alas! Middle-Earth region geography cards!
From what I could see, there was just a deck of cards, each having a region from Middle Earth printed on them, such as Lorien, Emyn Muil, Plateau of Gorgoroth, Umbar, and the likes. And they werent the ones from the new editions of LOTR Risk, because I already own them. I asked how much they were going for, and the guy who was selling this stuff took one look at them and snatched them away. "Oh, these arent for sale, sorry". So I never saw them again, and I am wondering if they had special powers.

Anyone know of these? I doubt that they are that valuable from the looks of them...

I think i was 13. I found them in the library and loved them. i still am 13, by the way. I read all 3, the Hobbit when i was 10 or younger, i don't know how old.

I tried the Silmarillion but only got through half way.

ninja, I think the region cards might have been from Middle-Earth the wizards, for they have such.

The newer CCG had region cards, too. Though they would be pictures from the films.

shieldmaiden - I suppose we should welcome you to the "club." I can't say it's too much of a club, though. Not exactly too cohesive beyond usual BD cohesiveness. No real club president or secretary...certainly not any treasurer. (Unless someone would like to donate? Because then I would love to be treasurer, and you can send your money to me. And our first project: buying me a new laptop...

)

Oh...yeah...

So, welcome!

And keep trying with the Sil!
