In The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King Deck-building Game, you take on the role of Frodo, Legolas, Aragorn, or one of their brave and heroic allies in the struggle against the forces of the Dark Lord Sauron! While you begin armed only with basic combat maneuvers, you will add new, more powerful cards to your deck as you go. Your goal is to defeat the deadly forces that serve Sauron as you make way towards Mount Doom to destroy The One Ring. Each player takes on the role an iconic hero from the films and each hero comes with a special card unique to that character and usable only by that player.
