Middle-earth: The Wizards CCG
Middle-earth Collectible Card Game is a collectible card game based on J. R. R. Tolkien's Middle-earth, first published by Iron Crown Enterprises in late 1995 as Middle-earth: The Wizards. Coleman Charlton designed the base game, and Charlton and Mike Reynolds led its development.[1][2]
Gameplay
Players represent rival wizards, assemble companies, and travel across Middle-earth to gather resources and allies. Players also use hazard cards to interfere with rival companies. Expansions introduced roles such as Ringwraiths and the Balrog.[1][2]
Publication
The Balrog, the last published expansion, appeared in 1998. Iron Crown Enterprises announced that it had ceased production and sale of its Middle-earth products and stopped filling orders on 22 September 1999.[2][3]
