PLAYED FOR YOU

Der Herr der Ringe

Die Erben von Númenor

In the cooperative LCG based on the mechanisms of collectible card games players embody a fellowship of heroes encountering dangerous quests in Middle Earth. The Core set for 2 players contains 226 cards in four starter decks, ready for use in introductory games. The game comprises Hero cards, Player cards, Encounter cards and Quest cards.

„Die Erben von Númenor“ transfers events into the fought-over realms of Gondor, more exactly into Eastern Gondor and into the years preceding the War of the Rings. This deluxe expansions comprises 165 new cards introducing two new heroes, a lot of new allies and three copies of each player cards. Three scenarios take you from the relative security of the streets of Pelargir into the heat of an epic battle against an army Orcs and Southrons – “Gefahr in Pelagir – Peril in Pelargir” with a difficulty level of 5, “Nach Ithilien – Into Ithilien”, level 4, and “Die Belagerung von Cair Andros – The Siege of Cair Andros”, level 7.

Three new key words in this expansion are Archery, Battle and Siege. For a card with Archery in play you need to inflict damage on your characters at the start of each combat phase equal to the value of the respective card; the amount can be split between several characters, values of several such cards are cumulative. For the keyword Battle you add other values of characters, and the same goes for Siege.

Equal to the other expansions this one, too, has been created painstakingly and lovingly, it is a must for all who play The Lord of the Rings LCG; the flair of novel and films is well implemented and pitches you into the heart of events.
