The Lord of the Rings: The Card Game – The City of Ulfast is the second adventure in the Vengeance of Mordor series, delivering 60 cards that pick up the story from A Shadow in the East and Wrath and Ruin. The setting has the duo in Dorwinion, now in peril, while Thane Ulchor flees eastward. You must track the villain, face Easterling hordes, and uncover secrets only the boldest explorers can reveal. The game stays cooperative, so everyone works together against the evil. Hand management is at the heart of the experience: you must decide when to play attack cards, when to protect the group, and when to hold resources for the right moment. Each player gets a unique power that changes their action options, creating distinct strategies and keeping the game fresh each time. The components are top‑quality: illustrated cards, resource tokens, and a detailed rulebook. Playtime ranges from 20 to 90 minutes, depending on how many times the group chooses to explore the scenario. If you love epic adventures, cooperative challenges, and the rich Tolkien atmosphere, Ulfast is a must‑have. Build your deck, rally the team, and face Mordor’s forces!
