Description

The Lord of the Rings: The Card Game – The Battle of Carn Dûm is a thrilling expansion that throws you into the heart of Angmar, where you'll need to fight your way through hordes of Orcs and other creatures to prevent an ancient evil from returning to the world. As you navigate this challenging, combat-intensive scenario, you'll encounter the dread Captain and his foul sorcery, making every move a battle for survival. With sixty new cards, including a new Dúnedain hero and twenty-seven player cards, you'll have the tools you need to take on the darkness, but it won't be easy. As a cooperative game for one to two players, The Battle of Carn Dûm requires strategic hand management and clever use of variable player powers. The game's normal complexity makes it accessible to fans of board games, and with a playtime of thirty to ninety minutes, you can embark on a thrilling adventure whenever you want. Published in 2015, this expansion is part of the Angmar Awakened cycle, and its fantasy setting and novel-based theme will transport you to the world of Middle-earth. With powerful events and new mechanics to explore, you'll need to use all your skills and courage to emerge victorious, but the reward is well worth the challenge.
