Immerse yourself in the captivating world of J.R.R. Tolkien’s Middle-earth with War of the Ring: The Card Game, a thrilling evolution of the acclaimed and award-winning board game. Here, you don’t just play a game; you become part of the epic struggle between the Dark Lord Sauron and the valiant Free Peoples.

Gather up to 4 players and split into two teams: the Shadow and the Free Peoples. Each player wields a unique deck of cards tailored to represent the strengths and weaknesses of their chosen faction, adding a layer of strategy to every move you make.

The Free Peoples are on a desperate quest to destroy the One Ring, battling not only against the malevolent forces of Sauron but also striving to protect their beloved homelands from his sinister allies.

Meanwhile, players embodying the Shadow must act swiftly and decisively. They have the power to either thwart the Ring-bearers' quest or corrupt them slowly, weighing Frodo down with wounds and despair over lost companions.

Throughout the game, players will engage in a dynamic exchange of cards that bring to life the iconic characters, armies, items, and events that defined the War of the Ring. Every card played will either aid the Fellowship on their perilous journey or bolster their defenses as they vie for control over newly activated Battleground cards each round.

Featuring over 100 stunning original illustrations from some of the finest Tolkienian artists, including breathtaking landscapes of The Shire to the dark realms of Mordor by the talented John and Fataneh Howe, War of the Ring: The Card Game transcends mere gameplay—it is a cherished collection for devoted fans of Tolkien’s world.

This is your chance to shape the fate of an entire age, embarking on an adventure like never before!
