Ares Games War of the Ring TCG: Core Set

Inspired by the War of the Ring board game, War of the Ring: The Card Game allows players to journey to the world of J.R.R. Tolkiens The Lord of the Rings and create their own version of the dramatic conflict between the Dark Lord, Sauron, and the Free Peoples of Middle-earth.In War of the Ring - The Card Game, up to 4 players compete in two teams, the Shadow against the Free Peoples, each player using a specific and different card deck representing the strengths and weaknesses of the different factions involved in the war.The Free Peoples desperately try to complete their quest to destroy the One Ring, while at the same time defending their homelands from the encroaching hordes of Sauron and from his evil allies. The Shadow players must strike quickly and decisively, before the Ring-bearers can complete their quest; or try to slowly corrupt Frodo, burdening him with wounds, toil, and the sorrow for the loss of his Companions.During the game, players will take turns playing cards representing the characters, armies, items, and events of the War of the Ring. Each card they play will help or hinder the journey of the Fellowship as it progresses on its Path; or be used to defend or conquer the strongholds of Middle-earth, as they fight to control the new Battleground cards activated in each round.This is your chance to forge the destiny of an age, like you never did before!CONTAINS60 Shadow cards60 Free Peoples cards27 Path cards14 Battleground cards4 Reference cards20 Corruption/Victory point tokens20 Combat tokens1 Starting Player token4 The One Ring tokens1 Game Rules
