With the phenomenal success of The Lord of the Rings: The Card Game ’s worldwide debut and a second print run already in the works, players across the globe now anxiously await the release of its first series of Adventure Packs, Shadows of Mirkwood .

Now, you can be among the first to take part in this epic journey! June 10th-12th, your friendly local retailer will offer a sneak peek at the first installment of this much-anticipated series.

Beginning with The Hunt for Gollum , the Shadows of Mirkwood cycle presents a linked narrative of quests that will take your fellowship through the Anduin Valley, along the Eaves of Mirkwood Forest, to the Hills of Emyn Muil, and even into the Dead Marshes. Heroes with enough skill and fortune to capture their prey must then escort him north, through Mirkwood Forest, to Thranduil’s palace for questioning and safekeeping.

But first, you must gather the clues to begin your search, and in The Hunt for Gollum, Gandalf has commanded you and your companions to discover the creature’s location. But be careful, false leads could guide your party in circles, forcing you to begin your hunt anew.
