Prepare for another epic journey through Middle-earth with 'Roam Across Rhovanion', the second adventure pack in the Ered Mithrin cycle for 'The Lord of the Rings: The Card Game'. This time, the mission takes you beyond the Grey Mountains, towards the sinister orc stronghold of Gundabad. But before facing the orcs, you'll need to forge an untrustworthy alliance with a treacherous goblin and traverse Rhovanion in search of his lost items. It's a plot full of twists that will test your adaptability and strategic skills.
This adventure pack brings sixty brand-new cards, including the first hero with the 'Woodman' trait, opening doors to new deck-building strategies you never imagined.

It's an expansion that adds depth and new dilemmas, perfect for those who are already fans of the game and want more quality content.
The rules are the same as the base game, but the gameplay experience is expanded with new scenarios and challenges that require careful planning and teamwork. The game's complexity remains around 3.0, indicating a game with strategic depth, yet still accessible to those familiar with the LCG system. The narrative is engaging, and the quality of the cards and components is as expected for the 'The Lord of the Rings: The Card Game' line. If you're looking to expand your adventures in Middle-earth with new challenges and tactical opportunities, 'Roam Across Rhovanion' is a valuable addition to your collection.
