About the game
What you do in a play session
Hey there, Lord of the Rings fan! Ready to make Middle-earth even more challenging? The Nightmare Deck: The Lost Realm is one of those add-ons that arrives to test your courage and strategies in The Lord of the Rings: The Card Game. It brings 60 new cards, focused on boosting the difficulty of the three original scenarios from The Lost Realm expansion, playing them in nightmare mode. In other words, if you thought the original challenges were a breeze, get ready! To enjoy this powerhouse, you'll need to have the base game of The Lord of the Rings: The Card Game and The Lost Realm expansion in hand. This deck is a print-on-demand expansion, so it's more for those already immersed in the universe and looking for an extra level of difficulty to overcome. It's a chance to relive the adventures with an extra dash of danger, where every decision counts and luck can be cruel. Perfect for those who love a good cooperative challenge and aren't afraid to face the dangers of Mordor (or wherever the nightmare takes you). It's one of those extras that make us love this epic card game even more.
