<p>definition stub</p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>A '''newbie trap''' is an informal game term. A newbie trap is a strategy, option, or card that appears attractive (particularly to new players) but is actually terrible. A hypothetical example might be a card that says, &quot;If your opponent plays a character named Roger, Jim, or John, they lose the game immediately.&quot; Winning instantly is a powerful effect, but a new player might not recognize that LOTR TCG doesn't have any characters named Roger, Jim, or John. A strategy that is deceptively weak, deceptively complicated, easy to screw up, or just infamously unsuccessful could be described as a newbie trap.<br /> <br /> [[Moria Tentacles]] and [[Gondor Wraiths]] are somewhat infamous for being newbie traps, although they have occasionally been used successfully.<br /> <br /> Newbie traps are an example of a [[negative play experience]]. Fixing newbie traps is one of the main goals of the [[PC Errata]] project.<br /> <br /> ----<br /> <br /> {{Gameplay_Table}}</div>
