Der Herr der Ringe Das Kartenspiel

Das Land des Schattens

The Core Set features 226 cards in four starter decks, which can be used immediately for an introductory game. This is amended by scenarios and 84 Encounter cards which you can master. The cards used are hero cards, player cards, encounter cards and adventure cards. If at least one player survives until the last part of the adventure deck has been dealt with, the players win together.

Das Land des Schattens / The Land of Shadow  is a Saga expansion and introduces 165 new cards with again new Campaign, Boon and Burden Cards for use in the three scenarios of the expansion when playing in Campaign mode, as a sequel to “Sarumans Verrat / The Treason of Saruman”. You can also play the scenarios individually, Boon and Burden cards are only used in Campaign mode. Intended for this saga expansion only are the cards Frodo Beutlin and “Schwör’s es / Speak your Promise!” from the Fellowship sphere and the Boon card “Ein paar junge Karnickel / Brace of Coneys” . Furthermore, there is a new, unique double-sided card Gollum Sméagol, whereby the Gollum side is an Enemy card and the Sméagol side is an objective-ally card. The scenarios are Die Durchquerung der Sümpfe / The Passage of the Marshes with a new keyword “Mire X”, Wanderung zum Scheideweg / Journey to the Cross-roads and Kankras Lauer / Shelob’s Lair.

You can again play in three different modes, Easy Mode, Standard Mode and Nightmare Mode for which you need Nightmare Decks which are available separately.

Yet again a very atmospheric, dense expansion that tells the story of the Fellowship and the One Ring, events move on seamlessly, expanding the game very attractively.
