The Lord of the Rings Tarot Deck and Card Game

Players take the roles of the Free Peoples of Middle-earth, journeying toward Mount Doom to destroy the One Ring. They play cards from their hands onto the Journey Pile, and the round ends when one player runs out of cards. Dark Forces cards can influence the journey and draw players toward Sauron, earning Dark Points. Players gain Victory Points for their actions and allegiance to either Gandalf or Sauron. A game lasts three rounds, each representing one book in the trilogy, and the player or players with the most Victory Points win.
