MECCG "Arda" at Gen Con 2026

Once again, we’re hosting a 4-hour group game of Middle-Earth CCG, using the popular “ARDA” variant. With ARDA, you can play Middle-earth without needing a deck. Instead, everyone drafts a party from randomly assigned characters, then slowly builds a deck as the game proceeds. Some people call it the only way to play Middle-earth. It's one of my greatest inventions.
Catch it Saturday under “Middle-earth CCG: “Arda” Format” or https://www.gencon.com/events/303679 . It usually sells out. I’ll also have some gorgeous MECCG maps for sale--let me know if you’d like me to bring you some (view them here: https://joebisz.com/middleearthmaps/)
