About the game
What you do in a play session
Get your decks ready and steel your nerves, because the journey now leads to the dark and tangled tunnels of Mount Gram! 'Escape from Mount Gram' is the second Adventure Pack of the Angmar Awakened cycle, plunging you and your companions into a desperate rescue mission. Picture this: a host of Rangers and heroes have been captured by the Goblins of Mount Gram. After centuries of hiding in their gloomy stronghold, these creatures are once again stirring up trouble, and it's up to you to lead a daring and dramatic prison break.
Beyond the narrative, this pack introduces some juicy mechanical updates to spice up your gameplay. Lore players get a brand new hero and cards that allow for the manipulation of the encounter deck and the victory display—perfect for those who love to control the flow of the game. Leadership players will find new cards that encourage aggressive, direct action against the Enemy. Tactics players get a thematic boost with Ent-focused cards, while Spirit players are granted a new side quest to add strategic depth to their approach.
The experience remains a high-tension cooperative struggle where every single decision matters. You'll need to manage your hand with surgical precision and leverage the unique powers of your heroes to survive the goblin ambushes. It's the kind of game that rewards careful planning but isn't afraid to throw you into absolute chaos when you least expect it. For those already immersed in Tolkien's universe and owning the base game, this pack is the perfect way to expand the lore and test your group's resilience in one of Middle-earth's most claustrophobic settings.
