Objective This epic card game puts players in control of some of the greatest heroes and artifacts of Middle-earth. Select heroes, gather allies, acquire artifacts and coordinate your efforts to face Middle-earth’s most dangerous fiends. The heroes of Middle-earth must search for signs of Balin and his fledgling Dwarven colony. Three new scenarios can be played one at a time or they can be linked to form a campaign that allows players to relive Bilbo's dramatic story arc! This adventure pack focuses on the lumbering Trolls terrorizing the Beornings, and while facing them in combat is fearful enough, Sacked! cards will endanger your heroes at every turn. Escort Arwen to Rivendell through bone-chilling snowstorms and hordes of enemies, into the twists and turns of the entire Dwarrowdelf cycle. As the Vengeance of Mordor cycle rises to its ultimate confrontation with The Fortress of Nurn, you’ll lay siege to a castle in this expansion’s brand-new scenario.

    Hard, but thematic adventure
    5 Stars
    Hard, but thematic adventure
    First of all, this box makes you play Gondor and tactics heavy decks. It's fun having new options other than dwarves. Beregond is an awesome tank and one of my favorite heroes.The first quest is not too bad. It's thematic and fun and feels like a brawl. The second quest is so hard that you can really only beat it if you get good draws. I had to copy a deck from online to beat it. Honestly don't like that one too much.But Siege of Chair Andros, WHOAH BOY. That was an epic adventure. The location damage mechanic is new. The enemies are all super brutal. And the treacheries make you feel like you can die at any second. But I had a lot of fun with a lore/tactics pair of decks.I had to read some of the encounter cards in this box multiple times because they were so broken that I thought I was reading them wrong (e.g. Mumak). But playing with that fear in your heart makes this expansion engaging, and beating any quest feels like a huge accomplishment.
