About this expansion

The Lord of the Rings: The Card Game – The Mûmakil is a 2017 Adventure Pack for 1–2 players, with an approximately 60-minute play time. It begins the Haradrim cycle, following Middle-earth’s heroes as they struggle to return from Far Harad to the safety of Gondor.

After surviving their first adventures amid The Sands of Harad, the heroes are surrounded by enemies and stranded far from home. More than five hundred miles of hostile territory stand between them and their destination, and no roads can guide their way.

In the scenario of The Mûmakil, the heroes enter the jungles of Harad to capture Oliphaunts and use them as mounts. Their journey is filled with dangers and surprises, demanding caution, alertness, and careful preparation for the difficult road ahead.

  • Begin the Haradrim cycle and follow the heroes’ homeward journey.
  • Face the dangers of the jungles of Harad while seeking Oliphaunts.
  • Add a new hero and three copies each of nine different player cards.
  • Develop new partnerships through paired Traits and powerful events.
  • Find opportunities to make allies with the Haradrim.

The new player cards develop the cycle’s focus on partnerships, including powerful events that require a fellowship built around paired Traits. They also introduce opportunities to work with some of the Haradrim themselves.

With its dangerous scenario and cycle-defining additions, The Lord of the Rings: The Card Game – The Mûmakil establishes the heroes’ plight and ambitions. It sets them on a hazardous journey through strange lands, where every step toward Gondor brings new challenges.
