Lord of the Rings: Special Cards Promo Pack

About this expansion

Lord of the Rings: Special Cards Promo Pack is a four-card promotional release for 2–6 players, with a listed play time of 60 minutes and a 2002 release year.

Distributed by Fantasy Flight Games at Origins 2002, this compact pack adds special content to the Lord of the Rings game experience. It includes The One Ring and Watchful Peace, two cards that were later released with the Lord of the Rings: Sauron expansion.

The pack also contains The Black Gate, an exclusive card that brings an additional challenge to the Hobbits when they pursue victory through military strength. The card is two-sided, giving it a distinctive role among the promotional contents.

Military Victory was introduced as a path to victory in the Lord of the Rings: Friends & Foes expansion. The Black Gate connects with that added victory route by making it more challenging for the Hobbits to win in this way.

• The One Ring card
• Watchful Peace card
• Exclusive, two-sided The Black Gate card
• A fourth card featuring cover art and an explanation of the other cards

As a small promotional release, Lord of the Rings: Special Cards Promo Pack is notable for combining later-released expansion cards with an exclusive addition. Its Origins 2002 distribution and focused card set make it a concise supplement for players familiar with the Lord of the Rings game and its expanded military victory option.
