The Lord of the Rings: The Card Game – The Flame of the West

About this expansion

The Lord of the Rings: The Card Game – The Flame of the West is a 1–2 player Saga Expansion for The Lord of the Rings: The Card Game, with play lasting about 90 minutes. Released in 2016, it draws on the first half of The Return of the King.

Time is short, the beacons of Gondor are alight, and war is kindled. This expansion brings the struggle to the Paths of the Dead, the Corsairs at Pelargir, and the Battle of the Pelennor Fields, where players must stand against the Witch-king and the armies of Mordor.

With 165 new cards, The Flame of the West presents three scenarios with a decidedly epic scope. The story returns its attention to Aragorn, the Grey Company, and the plight of Gondor, while the fates of Frodo Baggins and the One Ring remain uncertain.

• Three new scenarios based on key events from the first half of The Return of the King
• A new version of Aragorn, plus two new heroes
• Two boons and thirty player cards across ten different cards, with three copies of each
• Characters and cards representing bonds between the Men of Gondor, the Riders of Rohan, and the Elves and Dúnedain of the Grey Company

Fortunately, you will not ride alone. Lead Aragorn and your allies through battles and desperate journeys, and let your choices determine whether Gondor stands in this dramatic chapter of the Saga.
