Description
The Lord of the Rings: The Card Game is a cooperative adventure game where players work together to complete scenarios, each with their chosen heroes and a deck of allies, events, and attachments. Players must balance questing and fighting, as their heroes and allies exhaust after taking actions, limiting their options. The game requires strategic decision-making, as players must prioritize their actions to progress through the scenario while managing the growing enemy forces. With a wide range of content available, including numerous expansions and scenarios, players can create their own stories and adventures in Middle-earth, set in the 17 years between Bilbo's 111th birthday and Frodo's departure from the Shire. The game offers a high level of replayability, allowing players to explore different strategies and deck builds, and to experience the game's many scenarios and expansions, including Campaign and Hero Expansions that add new content and challenges to the game.
