Description

Up to four players engage in two teams, the Shadow versus the Free Peoples, in the card game War of the Ring. Each player uses a unique and varied card deck to represent the advantages and disadvantages of the many warring factions.

Players will take turns playing cards that represent the people, armies, items, and events of the War of the Ring during the course of the game. Each card they play will either aid or obstruct the Fellowship’s progress down its Path or be used to defend or seize Middle-earth’s strongholds as they contend for possession of the fresh Battleground cards that are activated each round.

War of the Ring – The Card Game is more than just a game; it’s also a treasure trove for all admirers of the world created by J.R.R. Tolkien, featuring more than 100 original illustrations from the greatest Tolkienian artists in the world, including an incredible gallery of landscapes from The Shire to Mordor by John and Fataneh Howe.
