Two-Player QuickStart Set

The Two-Player QuickStart Set was a product released by Decipher in mid 2003 which intended to streamline the process of learning the game even further from what the Starter Decks did. The package included enough cards for two players to learn, and also included the QuickStart Tutorial CD-ROM which had software for learning the game and managing one's collection. This software was produced by World's Apart as a prototype for the Lord of the Rings Online TCG platform, which was publicly released half a year later.

Contents

• 2 60-card decks featuring Gandalf and Theoden
