About the game

What you do in a play session

Hey there, adventurers! Ready to crank up the difficulty on your Lord of the Rings card game sessions? This 'Flight of the Stormcaller Nightmare Deck' is for those who've already conquered Middle-earth and want to push their skills to the absolute limit. It packs 20 new cards designed to replace specific encounter cards from the original scenario, transforming the adventure into a true test of mettle. If you crave that extra challenge and want to relive the story with an added layer of tension, this expansion is definitely for you. It's the kind of addition that makes you think twice before every move, you know? Perfect for those who already own the base game and are looking for more excitement in their solo or two-player games. Keep in mind that it significantly increases the challenge, so it's not really for newcomers to the world of Tolkien. But if you're a veteran seeking that extra adrenaline rush, you can bet it's worth it. The experience becomes more intense, and the victories, even sweeter!
