The Lord of the Rings: The Card Game – The Black Riders
Players reenact Frodo’s early journey from the Shire through a series of three linked scenarios that recreate encounters with the Nazgûl and other threats from the opening chapters of the story. The cooperative card game has players build decks from new hero and player cards—many focused on Hobbits—and use those decks to quest, fight enemies, manage resources, and respond to escalating Burdens and helpful Boons. New scenario-specific rules and an Easy Mode adjust difficulty and pacing, while linked scenarios create carryover effects as the group advances through the narrative.
