"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
dramatic conflict between the Dark Lord, Sauron, and the Free Peoples of
Middle-earth. In War of the Ring - The Card Game, up to 4 players compete in
two teams, the Shadow against the Free Peoples, each player using a specific
and different card deck representing the strengths and weaknesses of the
different factions involved in the war. During the game, players will take
turns playing cards representing the characters, armies, items, and events of
the War of the Ring. Each card they play will help or hinder the journey of
the Fellowship as it progresses on its Path; or be used to defend or conquer
the strongholds of Middle-earth, as they fight to control the new Battleground
cards activated in each round. With more than 100 original illustrations from
the greatest Tolkienian artists in the world, including an amazing gallery of
landscapes from The Shire to Mordor by John and Fataneh Howe, War of the Ring
- The Card Game is more than a game? it also a memorable collection for all
lovers of the world imagined by J. R. R. Tolkien. This is your chance to forge
the destiny of an age, like you never did before! "
