About The Lord of the Rings™: Ascension™
The Lord of the Rings™: Ascension™ is a deckbuilding game for 1–4 players that takes you on an adventure through Middle-earth™ across three interconnected Ascension sets, beginning with The Fellowship of the Ring™. It features the beloved mechanics of the Ascension Deckbuilding Game, reimagined to capture the wonder of The Lord of the Rings, from its legendary heroes and villains to the corruption of The One Ring.
The fate of the world hangs by a thread. Will you rally the Free Peoples (Elves, Humans, Dwarves and Hobbits) or turn toward the Shadow of Mordor? Recruit heroes, acquire powerful cards and shape your strategy as you build your strength, all while confronting the quiet, ever-present pull of The One Ring. The game is fast to learn and difficult to master: each choice carries weight, and the path to victory is never without cost.
- A deckbuilding game for 1–4 players
- Three interconnected Ascension sets, beginning with The Fellowship of the Ring™
- Fast to learn and difficult to master, built on the award-winning Ascension Deckbuilding Game
