The Lord of the Rings: The Card Game – Nightmare Deck: Passage Through Mirkwood

About this expansion

The Lord of the Rings: The Card Game – Nightmare Deck: Passage Through Mirkwood is a Nightmare Deck for 1–2 players, designed for a 60-minute journey through a more challenging version of the Passage Through Mirkwood scenario.

Nightmare Decks let players revisit familiar scenarios in Nightmare Mode, introducing deadlier enemies, darker locations, and more terrifying surprises. This deck reshapes a scenario players may already know, adding new twists and turns to create a more demanding and unpredictable experience.

The deck includes twenty new encounter cards to add to the matching original quest. It also contains a Nightmare Mode card explaining which older cards are removed from the original setup, along with an additional game rules card.

• Twenty new encounter cards for Passage Through Mirkwood
• A Nightmare Mode card with setup changes
• An additional card providing new game rules
• A darker and more challenging take on a familiar scenario

Rather than simply replaying the original journey, players face a revised encounter deck filled with fresh threats and altered expectations. The result is a nightmarish trip through territory that once seemed familiar, with surprises waiting in the shadows.

The Lord of the Rings: The Card Game – Nightmare Deck: Passage Through Mirkwood first appeared as part of Fantasy Flight Games’ Game Night Kits, which were available to retail outlets, and was later released as a print-on-demand item. It is designed to be used with the matching original quest.
