Mountain of Fire

By Seastan, in The Lord of the Rings: The Card Game

Glad to see Elladan and Elrohir allies.

soooo much good card art. love the Mount Doom box art! thanks for posting it

The card art is gorgeous, but what do they mean by "sixth and final expansion"? Are we looking at the last LOTRLCG set?

The last Saga expansion, detailing the events of the Lord of the Rings trilogy. It can't be the "sixth and final" expansion because it isn't the sixth expansion! =)

Lore check: did the orcs slay Elrond's wife? I thought they took her prisoner and tortured her, but she was rescued and then went to the Havens.

Yes, you're right.

Woohoo! Really cannot wait for this....Will be out of the country when it releases, but will get it immediately when back home.

It is funny...When I first got into the game I did it because I thought it would be a cool way to interactively experience (ie play) the content from the books and really intended on just getting the Sagas (plus an odd pack here or there for the player cards). However, I soon found myself so drawn to the new content that I haven't really played many of the Saga scenarios. My plan became to just focus on the Deluxes and Cycles and wait until all of the Saga boxes were released and then play straight through all 18 quests in a totally epic campaign!!! Though I'll probably modify campaign mode a bit by allowing myself to swap in the heroes that figured most prominently in each quest (i.e., Hobbits in Black Riders, etc.), but still keeping Boons/burdens as they make sense...

Oh...and everyone is right...that card art is magnificent!

I'm reading it as "sixth" and also "final" as two separate items.

Kinda like how Decipher ended their CCG with Ages End which was their last expansion/product released for the game.

Guys, the quote is "the sixth and final The Lord of the Rings Saga Expansion for The Lord of the Rings: The Card Game", stop panicking

" the sixth and final The Lord of the Rings Saga Expansion for The Lord of the Rings: The Card Game!

Specifically says this is the last saga expansion, not just any expansion.

Since it's specifically the final "The Lord of the Rings Saga" expansion, I can still hope (in vain) for future Saga expansions drawn from material in the appendices.

My god that Aragorn card art :wub:

It's a shame we don't have a Spirit Aragorn card, though. It would have completed the series.

I agree, since I love to play Spirit lol

At the risk of diverting the thread... no, I'll start a new thread.

Indeed. That will make the hero versions a lot more flexible, if we can pair them with ally versions too.

It looks really great. Elladan and Elrohir, one-man-army Aragorn, a double quest for Black Gate... The only thing that bothers me is that we won't get Ringbearer Sam

EDIT: I just realised that objective attachment "the last from the company" seems to be giving Ringbearer trait. So we do get Ringbearer Sam!

Well, we're gettig Mountain of Fire this year. Some people have speculated that maybe the final quest will be a dual thing - fighting at the Black Gate at the same time that Frodo is trying to destroy the Ring. If this is the case, then I think that would be an excellent place for them to re-use the Epic Multiplayer rules from Siege of Annuminas (as an option, obviously, not a compulsory thing).

Called it. I am incredibly happy about this.

I wonder what the symbol is on the Treachery with the the eye?

Erupting Mountain of Fire, I think

*Opens Redhorn and Rivendell and sees that the stat boosts are correspondent to each brother*

Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay

...

Okay, i guess nobody cares.

Also, if you look at the box you will see Gollum.

Edit: just now I see Ell and Elr are two parts of the same artwork... fighting side by side against A MASS OF ORCS.

So what are the odds of Scouring of the Shire for this year's Fellowship event?
