Description Edit | History

The Lord of the Rings: The Card Game is a cooperative adventure game in which the players attempt to complete a scenario, each with three heroes of their choice and a deck of allies, events and attachments to support them. Each round, players send their heroes and allies to quest or to fight with enemies that engage them. However, as the heroes and allies exhaust after questing, defending, or attacking, the players' options are typically insufficient to deal with everything at once. Therefore, players need to determine whether it is more urgent to quest and make progress in the scenario while the enemy forces gain power, or to take down enemies while making no progress, not knowing what will come next.

The Lord of the Rings: The Card Game is the base game of a Living Card Game for which new adventure packs are released monthly. The base game contains three scenarios, twelve famous characters from the works of J.R.R. Tolkien (including Aragorn, Legolas, Gimli, Denethor and Eowyn), and four pre-constructed player decks. Players can either use one of these decks or construct their own deck to increase their chances to be succesful in the more challenging scenarios. The monthly adventure packs contain a new scenario, a new hero, and new player cards to be used in their deck. The base game is for 1-2 players, but with an additional base game the scenarios can be played with up to four players.

Although this game is set in Tolkien's Middle Earth, the scenarios do not represent scenes from the books, but rather take place in the seventeen years from Bilbo's birthday until Frodo's departure from the Shire.

2 Paulradagast's LotR LCG Dividers for Core and TSoM
Major typographical and numbering fixes to original files. I've deleted the original file to eliminate confusion. A series of PDF files replacing Paulradagast's LotR LCG Card Dividers a la godurmyall. To accomodate text, some dividers have less opaque images or white vs. black text. I don't like the inconsistency but it works. Please comment.

7 Double-sided LOTR Card Dividers
Here are some double-sided dividers that, while colour-coded, don't take up as much ink as some of the (more beautiful) ones available here. Print them on heavy stock, cut them out, fold, and glue together. Being double-sided, they allow one to organize in any way. (Alphabetically, chronologically, by difficulty, etc.) Simply turn them so that the tabs go left /right /left etc. so the text is always visible. There are dividers within the spheres for each card type (hero, ally, etc.) There are dividers for each quest and each encounter sub-deck. Also includes 'player deck' dividers for all 6 two-sphere combinations, and a 'quest' divider for a pre-made encounter deck. All credit and thanks to GeckoTH for providing the icons!

7 Play Mat for table organization
This is an extension of the board already loaded on the LOTR:LCG file section. This board lies next to the main board and is a location for enemies and locations in the staging area to rest.

2 LOTR Simple Dividers for Core & Khazad-Dum
Simple dividers for the Core set & Khazad-Dum of LOTR LCG. Ideal for black and white printing. Small mistake on page 3 where I forgot to remove a small icon on the card. Adapted from GeckoTH's dividers.

0 Deutsche und englische Kartennamen in LotR / dHdR
Da eigentlich alle Decklisten mit englischen Kartenname angegeben werden, habe ich ein File zusammengestellt, in dem alle Kartennamen in deutsch und englisch zu finden sind. Hilft beim Nachbauen von Decks! Bis und mit Khazad-dum (Ein weiterer Update ist nicht zu erwarten, da ich von meiner monatlichen Abenteuer-Pack-Kaufsucht losgekommen bin!) --------- File with all card names in german and english. Up to Khazad-dum.

7 [CustomScenario] Dagro dan in Yrch! (v1)
I forgot to add the changes to cards like Ungoliant's Spawn and Attercop, Attercop. --- A scenario involving a skirmish against a orc detachment raiding a village. You have the help of the Men and Elven commander, but, is this enough? It seems that a certain Chieftain got a boost and is ready to fight through all your forces. Can you resist until the end?
