In War of the Ring: The Card Game, up to 4 players compete in two teams, with each player using a specific and different deck that represents the strengths and weaknesses of the different factions involved in the war.

The Free Peoples desperately try to complete their quest to destroy the Ring, while simultaneously defending their homeland against the advancing hordes of Sauron and his evil allies.

The Shadow Players must strike quickly and decisively before the ring bearers can complete their quest; or try to win Frodo over slowly by burdening him with wounds and the grief of losing his companions.

During the game, players take turns playing cards that represent the characters, armies, items, and events of the War of the Ring. Every card they play will help or hinder the Fellowship's journey whether they are used to defend or conquer the strongholds of Middle-earth.

With more than 100 original illustrations from the world's greatest Tolkienian artists, including an astonishing 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's also a memorable one collection for all lovers of the world, created by JRR Tolkien.
