About the game
What you do in a play session
Get ready to face the Shadow in a whole new way! This Nightmare deck for The Lord of the Rings: The Card Game takes the original 'Escape from Dol Guldur' quest and throws it into a nightmare. The concept is straightforward: take a scenario you already know and turn it upside down with more sinister encounter cards, tougher enemies, and challenges that will have you sweating. It comes with 20 new encounter cards that replace the old ones, making the journey through Dol Guldur a much more tense and unpredictable experience. Thought you had this place mastered? Think again! Each Nightmare deck includes clear instructions on which original cards to remove and how to implement the new ones, along with a card detailing the specific Nightmare Mode rules. This expansion is perfect for those who have already conquered the base scenario and want to test their limits, discovering new tactics and strategies to survive. It's the kind of challenge that makes you love (and hate a little) the game. Remember, this is a Nightmare deck, so it's designed to be difficult and push your heroes to their absolute limits. If you enjoy reliving scenarios with elevated difficulty and surprising twists, this is an essential item for your LCG collection. The experience is fully cooperative, demanding communication and planning among players to overcome the dangers lurking in the shadows.
