About this expansion

The Lord of the Rings: The Card Game – Celebrimbor’s Secret is a 1–2 player Adventure Pack for games lasting about 90 minutes. As the fifth Adventure Pack in The Ring-maker cycle, it leads Middle-earth’s heroes toward the end of the quest given to them by Saruman the White.

The adventure reaches the ruins of Ost-in-Edhil, where Celebrimbor crafted the Three Rings of Power. Their location and everything within the forge were kept secret for ages, but Mordor’s growing power has made those secrets increasingly important. Saruman desperately seeks any means to resist the Shadow, including whatever the heroes may discover in Celebrimbor’s forge.

Celebrimbor suspected Sauron’s evil purposes and gave the Three Rings to three Elf-lords, who hid them through the ages and used them to resist the Dark Lord’s influence. Should Sauron recover the One Ring, he could command all the Rings of Power, even the Three, and undo the good the Elves created with them.

This pack contains 60 new cards, with three copies each of twenty cards, expanding the possibilities available to players. It also introduces Galadriel, the Lady of Lothlórien, as a powerful new hero.

  • Player cards for each sphere that enhance the Silvan and Noble traits
  • The Doomed X mechanism
  • A quest set amid the ruins and hidden forge of Ost-in-Edhil

With its pivotal setting, new hero, and broad selection of player cards, Celebrimbor’s Secret brings the Ring-maker cycle closer to its conclusion while placing the fate of Celebrimbor’s legacy in the hands of Middle-earth’s heroes.
