The Lord of the Rings Trading Card Game is an immersive card game by Decipher, Inc which uses visuals from the Peter Jackson films and draws concepts from both the films and Tolkien's original masterpiece.
Guide Frodo down the path to Mount Doom, defending him from orcs, nazgul, trolls, and whatever else the forces of Shadow can muster up against him. Then, when your turn is over, reverse roles and set your sites on corrupting your opponent as they try to keep the Ring out of Sauron's grasp. Build your deck from more than a dozen cultures of Middle-earth, and find the one true strategy to rule them all!
