The Lord of the Rings LCG is a cooperative card game that puts 1-2 players (or up to four with two Core Sets!) in control of the most powerful characters and artifacts of Middle-earth. Players will select heroes, gather allies, acquire artifacts, and coordinate their efforts to face Middle-earth's most dangerous fiends. By cooperating to overcome the obstacles drawn from the encounter deck, you will complete the quest before you and claim victory!
The Core Set includes 226 cards that can be used to assemble a wide variety of decks right out of the box. Included are three perilous quests that, along with countless combinations of settings and enemies, offer near-limitless replayability.
Additionally, players can build a party from a set of 12 hero cards, and focus their decks on any combination of four distinct spheres of influence: Leadership, Lore, Spirit, and Tactics. Each sphere offer unique benefits to the party, so choose wisely!
Monthly 60-card expansion packs called Adventure Packs will introduce new quests, heroes, allies, attachments, events, and encounters, allowing players to fully customize their game and continue their fight against the Dark Lord!
The new revised edition adds three new card types to the game: campaign cards, boons and burdens. These cards are all used in a new campaign mode included within the Revised Core Set that wouldn't normally be found in the original edition.
If you already own everything from The Lord of the Rings LCG, you do not need to buy the Revised Core Set to experience this campaign - instead, all campaign cards, boons, and burdens will be made freely available as print-and-play content on the publisher's website. We will also be posting the campaign rules and campaign log to the site as well, which means anyone who owns a core set for this game - original or otherwise - will be able to fully experience this new mode.
