The Lord of the Rings LCG: Revised Core Set

In The Lord of the Rings LCG, players assemble a hand of adventurers who are attempting to complete dangerous quests in Middle-earth. From teh bright fields of the Shire and dangerous paths of Mirkwood Forest to the mighty kingdoms of Gondor and Rohan, the heroes of this beloved setting join together to resist the threat of the Dark Lord, Sauron.

The Lord of the Rings LCG is a 1-4 player cooperative game in which players work together, competing against scenarios controlled by the game. As a Living Card Game, additional cards and quests are available in future expansions, further allowing players to customize the contents of this set, or to create their own original decks.

The new revised edition adds three new card types to the game: campaign cards, boons and burdens. These cards are all used in a new campaign mode included within the Revised Core Set that wouldn’t normally be found in the original edition.

If you already own everything from The Lord of the Rings LCG, you do not need to buy the Revised Core Set to experience this campaign – instead, all campaign cards, boons, and burdens will be made freely available as print-and-play content on the publisher’s 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.
