--- A 60-card Nightmare expansion for The Lord of the Rings: The Card Game enhances Over Hill and Under Hill scenarios with deadlier challenges and twists. (20 words) Key mechanics include: - *Nightmare Mode integration* Players use new encounter cards and instructions to reshape scenario encounter decks. - *Enhanced difficulty* Introduces deadlier enemies, darker locations, and terrifying surprises. - *Scenario-specific rules* Adds unique rules, challenges, plot twists, and thematic alterations for each of three scenarios. - *Encounter deck expansion* Incorporates 60 cards from the three named decks to intensify gameplay. This 60-card expansion for The Lord of the Rings: The Card Game specifically augments the three scenarios from the Over Hill and Under Hill Saga Expansion—Dungeons Deep and Caverns Dim, Over the Misty Mountains Grim, and We Must Away Ere Break of Day—by replicating the decks from The Lord of the Rings: The Card Game – Game Night Kit 2014 Season One. As Nightmare Decks, they enable Nightmare Mode, featuring deadlier enemies, darker locations, and more terrifying surprises through new, alternate encounter cards and setup instructions that reshape the original scenario's encounter deck. Each deck introduces deadly new encounter cards alongside scenario-specific rules that significantly heighten challenges, while weaving in subtle plot twists and thematic alterations. Play requires The Lord of the Rings: The Core Set and The Hobbit: Over Hill and Under Hill Saga Expansion. ---
