The Lord of the Rings: The Card Game – Race Across Harad

Description

--- **Race Across Harad** is a pursuit scenario in *The Lord of the Rings: The Card Game* where heroes on oliphaunts race warg-riding orcs across Harad's wilds to the Ford of Harnen. Key mechanics include: - *Chase scenario* Orcs and wargs pursue from a separate staging area, requiring heroes to progress quest stages faster than enemies. - *Oliphaunt advantage* Towering mounts provide tactical edge but cannot fully protect against warg-riders' attacks. - *Dúnedain hero* New Lore sphere hero introduced. - *Player card enhancements* Three copies each of nine cards boosting Mounts, side quests, Doomed keyword, and events targeting specific Trait pairs. Race Across Harad, the second Adventure Pack in the Haradrim cycle for The Lord of the Rings: The Card Game, immerses players in a high-stakes chase through Harad's treacherous deserts. Heroes, mounted on captured and tamed oliphaunts, face relentless pursuit by warg-riding orcs whose howls signal imminent danger and barbed arrow assaults. The scenario demands rapid progression through quest stages to reach the Ford of Harnen, where oliphaunts can ford deep waters impassable to wargs. Unique rules animate the pursuit with enemies advancing from their own staging area, heightening tension as heroes must outpace foes. The pack also delivers a new Lore sphere Dúnedain hero and three copies each of nine player cards that amplify core mechanics, including Mount support, side quests, the Doomed keyword, and powerful events rewarding targeted Trait combinations. ---
