The Lord of the Rings: The Card Game is a one or two player (or up to four when combining two core sets) cooperative game in which players work together, competing against quests controlled by the game. Players can join forces with their friends, building decks that complement those of their teammates. The game’s ingenious mechanics deliver a unique set of challenges every time, offering nearly infinite replayability.
The core set includes three multi-part quests, plus 132 player cards including famous heroes, places, events, and items from The Lord of the Rings. Eighty-four Encounter cards represent the villains, hazards, places and circumstances that stand between the players and victory. Convenient Threat Tracker dials and tokens are also included to help keep track of your progress to finish the quest.
Each month a new Adventure Pack will be released which will add more cards to the player and encounter decks. In addition to these cards, the monthly packs will include a new quest for the players to compete against. Each six-pack cycle will convey one unified narrative, tying the quests in that series together, immersing the players in the setting and further incentivizing future purchases.
