With increased contents and some quality-of-life improvements, this new version of the classic LCG’s core set is the perfect opportunity for a new player to dive into the game. The box comes with everything you may need to kick off your adventures, including enough cards and components for four-player games right out of the gate. Read on to learn more about The Lord of the Rings: The Card Game and why it has been a fan favorite for over ten years!
What is New?
For the most part, this product is the same The Lord of the Rings: The Card Game that countless fans have known and loved for the past ten years. The rules are the same, and almost all of the cards included in the Revised Core Set are also the same. There are, however, three types of cards included in the Revised Core Set that were not part of the original release: campaign cards, boons, and burdens. These three card types are all used in the new campaign mode that comes included with the Revised Core Set. In this mode, players can experience each of the core set’s scenarios in sequential order, and the results of each scenario can affect the outcome of the next one. If you already own everything from The Lord of the Rings: The Card Game, you do not need to buy the Revised Core Set to experience this campaign—instead, we are pleased to announce that all campaign cards, boons, and burdens will be made freely available as print-and-play content on our website. We will also be posting the campaign rules and campaign log to the site as well, which means anyone who owns a core set for this game—original or otherwise—will be able to fully experience this new mode. If you already own a core set for this game, then the release of the Revised Core Set is the perfect opportunity to introduce your friends to the game. Alternatively, if you played this game using a friend’s copy but have yet to pick up your own, then now is an excellent time to jump in! And remember, this box comes with enough content and components to support up to four players, including plenty of materials to ensure you and your friends have everything you need to start your adventure with this classic game.
