The Lord of the Rings: The Card Game – Beneath the Sands

About this expansion

The Lord of the Rings: The Card Game – Beneath the Sands is a 1–2-player Adventure Pack for a 60-minute journey through the hostile lands of Harad. Released in 2017, it is the third Adventure Pack in the Haradrim cycle.

Harad holds dangers beyond its deserts, Orcs, and Wargs. Giant spiders have dragged people beneath the dunes, and several of Middle-earth’s greatest heroes must investigate by entering the creatures’ underground tunnels.

The scenario unfolds as a labyrinth of cobweb-choked darkness, blocked passages, and deadly spiders. The missing victims may still be alive, but finding them requires careful exploration and a keen sense of direction. Time is pressing, and becoming lost can be just as dangerous as facing the creatures below.

Scenario-specific rules place a special emphasis on questing and exploration. Even when you quest successfully, getting off-track can cause you to squander your progress, creating the feeling of being trapped in a maze and forcing you to pay close attention to the path ahead.

• A scenario focused on underground exploration and navigation
• Deadly spiders, blocked passages, and hidden victims
• A new Scout hero
• Twenty-seven player cards: three copies each of nine different cards

Alongside its scenario, Beneath the Sands adds new options for getting back onto the proper path—or forging your own. It offers a tense continuation of the heroes’ perilous journey through Harad, where successful progress depends on both determination and careful attention.
