If you play or at all interested in the Middle Earth Collectable Card Game (CCG) this book is a must-have. It walks you through the rules much better than the rule book included in the game. It also has a liting of all of the cards in the ME:TW set.

I purchased this book quite a long time ago - probably back in 1996 when it was first released. Only recently (Sept 2004) was I able to start playing this game, having purchased a box of challenge decks for Middle Earth: the Wizards. This book was indispensable in learning the rules - much better format and explanations than the tiny books accompanying the starter decks. I do think the rules could be better explained, hence the 4 stars vs. 5.

This guide provides more than enough information to play the base game, several variants, and more.

I especially enjoyed the added back story and references.

If you like The Lord of the Rings, if you like card games, if you like collectible card games, if you don't mind that the game is out of print, I think you should pick it up, and if you like having more information, you should get this guide.
