About the game
What you do in a play session
The Angmar Awakened Hero expansion brings a fresh wave of adventure to The Lord of the Rings – The Card Game universe. With it, you gain eight epic heroes, including fan‑fave names like Aragorn, Arwen, and other legendary figures from the North. In addition to the heroes, the expansion re‑issues all player cards and customization options that were in The Lost Realm and the original Angmar Awakened cycle, ensuring your deck is ready for any challenge. Valor cards and new side quests let you plan bolder strategies, exploring Middle‑earth and confronting foes that demand player cooperation. The expansion works with both the revised base‑game edition and is 100% compatible with the original set, so you can use it with any collection you already own. If you love cooperative campaigns, want to expand your hero roster, and crave new stories, this add‑on is a must‑have in your deck‑building arsenal. Gear up, gather your allies, and let the Dúnedain guard the peace of the North while you face the lurking danger in the shadows.
