Nightmare Decks for The Lord of the Rings: The Card Game allow you to revisit your favorite scenarios cast in the shadows of the game's challenging Nightmare Mode. Featuring deadlier enemies, darker locations, and more terrifying surprises, each Nightmare Deck introduces new, alternate encounter cards and instructions for using them to reshape a scenario's encounter deck. The result? A nightmarish journey through territory you thought you knew, but with twists and turns that will have you on the edge of your seat!

In The Wastes of Eriador, you and your friends race across the northern wilds in search of a captive Ranger, but as the day wears out and nightfall comes, the new encounter cards and side quests from The Wastes of Eriador Nightmare Deck ensure that your adventures will be harder and more harrowing than ever before. Playing upon the day/night mechanics that lie at the heart of the original scenario, The Wastes of Eriador Nightmare Deck offers an extra dose of theme and challenge, even as it introduces surprising new twists along your path.

Nightmare Decks are available via FFG's In-House Manufacturing and may differ subtly in appearance and texture from Core Set cards. Players are thus encouraged to utilize opaque or art sleeves while playing in Nightmare Mode.

This is not a stand-alone product. One copy each of The Lord of the Rings: The Core Set, The Lord of the Rings: The Card Game – The Lost Realm expansion, and The Lord of the Rings: The Wastes of Eriador are required to play.
