About the game
If you're already hooked on the Journeys in Middle-earth system, get ready to expand your-adventure! Hunt for the Ember Crown isn't a physical box filled with miniatures; it's a digital-only-content expansion (DLC) delivered directly through the companion app.

The story plunger you into the lands around Bree, where Wargs are behaving more cunningly than ever before. While the Thain of the Shire seems distracted by mysterious visitors and unsettling rumors, the safety of the Shire is at stake. It's up to you and your fellow heroes to step up, explore the wilderness, and face the growing darkness. This-expansion is designed to breathe new life into your-campaign, offering fresh-narrative beats and-new-challenges within the familiar-mechanics you love. Perfect for players looking to keep the-Middle-earth-magic alive without needing more shelf space!
