Khazad‑dûm is the first deluxe expansion for The Lord of the Rings: The Card Game that takes you straight into the heart of the dwarves. With 165 brand‑new cards – heroes, allies, events, and most importantly, nine unique encounter sets – the adventure becomes even deeper and more challenging. The scenarios are built from these sets, creating three distinct stories that explore the dark, treacherous corridors of Khazad‑dûm, where goblins, trolls, and even darker creatures lurk around every corner. Hand‑management remains at the core, forcing you to plan each play carefully, while variable player powers add a layer of personalization that makes every game feel fresh. If you already own the base game, Khazad‑dûm expands the universe without breaking the cooperative spirit that makes the game so engaging. The result? A richer experience, with new cards that fit seamlessly into the established flow, and scenarios that challenge even the most seasoned players to think strategically and band together to overcome the threats that rise from the depths of the mountain.
