If you haven't played, let's share a little bit about what you are missing.  This is a cooperative trick-taking game where 1-4 players work together, chapter by chapter, to complete character objectives which are flavorfully reminiscent of the iconic Tolkien characters and the challenges they face.  Designed by self-appointed Tolkien fanboy, Bryan Bornmueller, and illustrated by the remarkable Elain Ryan in her signature stained glass style – this is a love letter to the source novel.

Not only is the game thematically rich, but it also boasts a unique and satisfying cooperative trick-taking play experience.  Players must signal their intentions through the cards they play into tricks, assessing the timing and strategy of other players without any other communication.  While the journey starts easy, the challenges quickly grow, and even the best trick-takers find themselves replaying challenges to redeem their victory.

So, what's stopping you? Start your epic journey today with The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring™: Trick-Taking Game.
