Spellenspektakel (Games Spectacle) 2001

November 2, 3 & 4, Eindhoven, the Netherlands

On this page you'll find info about the Middle-earth related events at 'Het Spellenspektakel' and about the fair in general. More information about the fair, the largest in the Netherlands, can be found at the Spellenspektakel website, but is available in Dutch only.

Working together with 999 Games and Decipher we (the Council of the Isles of the Dead that Live) will bring you the following events.

Middle-earth Collectible Card Game (Verzamelkaartspel In de Ban van de Ring)

Demonstrations

Continuous demonstrations all weekend. Come and watch, come and play! (free)

Workshops

Continuous workshops all weekend, just visit us at the time you like best.
A workshop is the best way to master the Middle-earth CCG.
You will play under extensive guidance using your own cards which you can take home afterwards.
Your workshop lasts as long as you like (most people stay 45 to 120 minutes).
You pay just NLG 15 which includes cards with a retail value of over 35 guilders and a practical map (as long as stock lasts).
You are free to play with either English or Dutch cards (Middle-earth the Wizards / In de Ban van de Ring).
No pre-registration required.
You can bring your own MeCCG cards to a workshop if you want. Costs will be reduced to NLG 5 for which you still receive one booster and the map.

Tournaments

Daily tournaments, both fun and competitive, including the European Championships. The tournament page tells all about it.

Lord of the Rings Trading Card Game

Continuous demonstrations of Decipher's all new film based game that will hit the stores world wide just two days after the fair, on November 6. Come and watch, come and play! (free)

The Lord of the Rings board game (Dutch translation)

Sit down and play this beautiful game. We'll help you out. Be sure to try the all new first expansion too!

Demonstrations and workshops take place on a large Lord of the Rings island at the back of the main exhibition hall. Tournaments are held on a section of the left balcony.

Artists

Among the special guests at Het Spellenspektakel will be two artists that have illustrated Middle-earth CCG cards: Scott M. Fischer and Liz Danforth. They will have booths of their own where you'll be able to buy works from them and / or have your cards signed.

And more

Many more events will take place at Het Spellenspektakel, like demonstrations of board games, role play sessions, etc. You will also be able to buy many different games and single cards for most CCG's here.

The remainder of the info on this page is general information about the fair taken from the Spellenspektakel site and translated to English for you.
