About this expansion

The Lord of the Rings: The Card Game – The Battle of Carn Dûm is a 2015 Adventure Pack for 1–2 players, with a play time of about 90 minutes. As the fifth and penultimate Adventure Pack in the Angmar Awakened cycle, it sends Middle-earth’s heroes into the heart of Angmar.

The threat facing the North has grown, and now the time has come to strike. In this combat-intensive scenario, your heroes must fight their way through hordes of Orcs and other creatures while attempting to prevent an ancient evil from returning to the world.

The walls of Carn Dûm are only one danger. The assembled Orcs and Werewolves stand ready to slow your advance, while a dreaded Captain leads them and foul, shadowed Sorcery fills the air. Survival will demand courage, strong preparation, and the ability to withstand relentless opposition.

  • 60 new cards for the Angmar Awakened cycle
  • A new Dúnedain hero
  • Twenty-seven player cards, including three copies each of nine different cards
  • Powerful events representing every Sphere of influence

The player cards continue to develop mechanics explored throughout the cycle. Leadership and Tactics players gain new Valour effects, Lore players receive an event that lets their Dúnedain or Rangers avoid a scenario’s deadliest enemies, and Spirit players gain a Noldor-themed card that can be played only from the discard pile.

With new allies and potent events at their disposal, your heroes may have the strength to challenge the forces gathered at Carn Dûm. The Battle of Carn Dûm delivers a dangerous advance into Angmar for players ready to face its Orcs, Werewolves, Captain, and Sorcery.
