Lord of the Rings The Fellowship Playing Cards

Kings Wild Project is excited to announce the release of the officially licensed
'The Lord of the Rings' Playing Cards.  Licensed through Middle-earth Enterprises, we will be producing a series of beautifully illustrated playing card decks for each of the three masterpieces.

Bilbo Baggins
At 111, his age at his final Shire birthday party, Bilbo looks like a younger Hobbit than he is due to the effects of the One Ring. He looks well-preserved, and not much older than he was when he found the Ring at age 51. (He looked like a human in his thirties then, and now he looks like a human in his forties – at an age when Hobbits look closer to humans in their seventies.)

Bilbo is descended from the great Hobbit warrior Bandobras (Bullroarer) Took, his great-great-great- granduncle. He is the grandson of Gerontius Took (the Old Took), former Thain of the Shire.

Along the way, he finds the One Ring in Gollum’s lair. He retires from adventuring to write his memoirs, and eventually leaves the Shire for Rivendell, leaving his home and Ring to his nephew Frodo.

Inits right hand was a blade like a stabbing tongue of fire; in its left it held a whip of many thongs. ‘Ai! air! ‘ wailed Legolas. ‘A Balrog! A Balrog is come!’ The dark figure streaming with fire raced towards them..."
