Lord of the Rings Trading Card Game
The Lord of the Rings Trading Card Game (a.k.a. LOTR TCG) is a collectible card game produced by Decipher, Inc. Released November 2001, it is based on Peter Jackson's The Lord of the Rings movie trilogy and the J. R. R. Tolkien novel on which the films were based. Decipher also have the rights to The Hobbit novel but have not yet released any cards based on it. In addition to images taken from the films, in 2004 WETA Workshop produced artwork depicting characters and items from the novel absent from the films for use on cards.
The game also has an online version that maintains identical gameplay as well as a market economy. However, since the game's print run has ended, sales for online cards have been stopped and the servers are scheduled to close in June 2010.
In 2002, LOTR TCG won the Origins Awards for Best Trading Card Game of 2001 and Best Graphic Presentation of a Card Game 2001.
