Ever since Iron Crown Enterprise (ICE) ceased producing and selling MECCG and other Middle Earth related products in the latter part of 1999, tournaments and events for MECCG has dwindled. In the Western states, MECCG is viewed as a dying, if not yet dead, game. Or is it? With a recently released board game  and a movie based on The Lord of the Rings Trilogy coming in the horizon, Middle Earth CCG seems to be getting renewed attention from old and new fans alike. Read on friends!
