War of the Ring - The Card Game

Description

Inspired by the best-selling and award-winning War of the Ring board game,War of the Ring: The Card Game allows players to journey to the world of J.R.R.Tolkien’s The Lord of the Rings and create their own version of the dramaticconflict between the Dark Lord, Sauron, and the Free Peoples ofMiddle-earth.

In War of the Ring: The Card Game, up to 4 players compete in two teams, theShadow against the Free Peoples, each player using a specific and different carddeck representing the strengths and weaknesses of the different factionsinvolved in the war.

The Free Peoples desperately try to complete their quest to destroy the OneRing, while at the same time defending their homelands from the encroachinghordes of Sauron and from his evil allies.

The Shadow players must strike quickly and decisively, before theRing-bearers can complete their quest; or try to slowly corrupt Frodo, burdeninghim with wounds, toil, and the sorrow for the loss of his Companions.

During the game, players will take turns playing cards representing thecharacters, armies, items, and events of the War of the Ring. Each card theyplay will help or hinder the journey of the Fellowship as it progresses on itsPath; or be used to defend or conquer the strongholds of Middle-earth, as theyfight to control the new Battleground cards activated in each round.

With more than 100 original illustrations from the greatest Tolkienianartists in the world, including an amazing gallery of landscapes from The Shireto Mordor by John and Fataneh Howe, War of the Ring: The Card Game is more thana game – it also a memorable collection for all lovers of the world imaginedby J.R.R. Tolkien.

This is your chance to forge the destiny of an age, like you never didbefore!
