War of the Ring: The Card Game – Against the Shadow is the first expansion for War of the Ring: The Card Game, adding solo and cooperative play to the battle for Middle-earth.

Players control the Free Peoples using the normal rules and cards from the core game, while the Shadow side is run by automated Shadow decks created especially for solo and cooperative play. These new decks replace the Shadow cards from the core set and work with a simple flowchart system to create a challenging opponent without needing another player to control Sauron’s forces.

Against the Shadow is ideal for fans who want to experience War of the Ring: The Card Game alone or with a partner in a shared Free Peoples campaign. It keeps the epic Lord of the Rings card driven conflict while adding a new way to enjoy the game as a one or two player cooperative challenge. This is an expansion only and requires War of the Ring: The Card Game to play.
