About the game
What you do in a play session
Set sail for the high seas of Middle-earth with 'The Hunt for the Dreadnaught,' a unique scenario pack for the acclaimed cooperative card game 'The Lord of the Rings: The Card Game.' Troubling rumors about the fearsome Corsairs of Umbar have reached your ears. Whispers say they have finally completed the construction of the monstrous Dreadnaught, a colossal warship now haunting the coasts of the land. Only the bravest heroes of Middle-earth will have a chance to find and sink this floating menace. This standalone scenario offers a challenging maritime adventure, perfect for group play. You can tackle the mission with your usual group of 1 to 4 players, or, for a truly epic challenge, dive into the Epic Multiplayer Mode, where multiple groups can join forces against the Dreadnaught's might. Can you liberate the seas of Middle-earth from the Corsairs' raids and bring peace back to the waters? The journey will be arduous, requiring strategy, cooperation, and a good dose of luck to overcome the dangers lurking in the waves and the imminent threat of the enemy ship. The die is cast, heroes!
