The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring Deck-Building Game

Players take on the roles of iconic heroes from the Fellowship, each with a unique special power, and start with a basic ten-card deck. On each turn players draw five cards, generate Power to buy cards from a shared five-card line called the Path, and add Enemies, Allies, Artifacts, Maneuvers, and Locations to their personal deck. Stronger foes are challenged by spending accumulated Power to defeat Archenemies; defeating one scores high victory points but triggers attacks against all players. The game ends when decks are tallied and the player with the most victory points from cards in their deck wins.
