Howdy holguinero-ga,
Forgot to give you this web page where you can download files that will
allow you to print your own cards, as well as the rulebook for the game.
http://www.decipher.com/lordoftherings/downloads/
"Try out The Lord of the Rings TCG for free! Just download these [PDF]
versions of the starter decks, print out the sheets, cut the cards apart,
slip 'em into clear sleeves and you're ready to go!"
You will need the free Adobe Acrobat Reader to view the documents you
will find on the page above, and if you don't have it already on your
computer, you can download it for no charge from the Adobe website.
http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/readstep2.html
You will also need a color printer, etc. in order to take advantage of
the free downloadable starter decks and rulebook. I should warn you
that this might consume lots of printer ink, so the actual decks might
cost you less than the ink cartridges for your printer.
Looking Forward, denco-ga - Google Answers Researcher
