Hey there, adventurers! Ready for another round of Middle-earth mayhem? "Fire in the Night" is the third stop in the Ered Mithrin cycle for The Lord of the Rings: The Card Game, and forget about taking a breather! After quite the journey through Wilderland and facing down some dragon whelps, you arrive at Hrogar's Hill thinking you'll finally get some rest. But, oh, life is full of surprises (and angry dragons!). You've barely started your meal when the alarm sounds. Outside, a sinister red-orange glow tears through the night. The mother of dragons has arrived to collect her due! This expansion delivers a tense adventure where you and your friends (or just you, if you're feeling brave!) must deal with the fury of a mother dragon. It's pure adrenaline, with challenges that will test your deck and your planning skills. Get your cards and your courage ready, because vengeance is in the air, and fire is about to consume the night. It's a cooperative game that demands plenty of strategy and good hand management to survive. If you love the theme and aren't afraid of an epic challenge, this one's for you!
