The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers Trick-Taking Game

The journey continues in the magical world of Middle-earth in The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers Trick-Taking Game. This narrative driven cooperative card game lets players take on the roles of heroes and villains in Tolkien’s legendary work, The Two Towers. A standalone follow up to last year’s The Fellowship of the Ring Trick Taking Game, new mechanics, new characters, and beautiful stained-glass art make this an unforgettable experience. The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers Trick-Taking Game is a co-operative card game that plays out over eighteen chapters that lead players through the events of the novel The Fellowship of the Ring. The chapters can be played in any order, but ideally you play them in sequence. In each chapter, each player takes a different character role and each character has a condition that must be met in order to pass the chapter and advance in the story. As you advance through the chapters, new characters, items, and challenges are introduced to the game. The One Ring is the game's only trump card, but initially rings can't be led until someone plays one off-suit. In the two-player game, one hand of cards is dealt to a dummy player, with some cards being face up and others face down. This dummy is assigned a character, and one of the human players will play cards for it based on which cards are free to be played. In the solitaire game, one player plays four hands of face-up cards, with each hand being assigned a character and only a few cards being available at a time. After you play a trick, deal each hand a new card. —description from the publisher
