Description

"The Black Serpent" is an adventure pack for The Lord of the Rings: The Card Game, where heroes ambush a Haradrim caravan tribute-bound for Mordor in a desert fortress scenario. Key mechanics include: - *New hero and player cards* Sixty cards with a new hero and three copies of each new player card to expand decks. - *Scenario-based gameplay* Heroes launch an ambush on a superior-numbered Haradrim caravan camped in a dilapidated desert fortress. - *Narrative progression* Heroes, stranded in Harad's deserts after surviving Orcs, Wargs, and spiders, seize an opportunity to strike against the Dark Lord. The Black Serpent, the fourth Adventure Pack in the Haradrim cycle for The Lord of the Rings: The Card Game, provides sixty cards—including a new hero and three copies of each new player card—that guide Middle-earth's heroes on a grueling detour through Harad's arid wastes. Stranded hundreds of miles from home, outnumbered, and low on supplies amid prior encounters with Orcs, Wargs, and giant spiders, the heroes remain steadfast in their quest against the Dark Lord of Mordor. Upon discovering a Haradrim caravan transporting tributes to Mordor, they devise a plan to ambush it within the walls of a dilapidated desert fortress. Players join these heroes in the new scenario, testing whether their tactics can overcome the caravan's numerical advantage in this tense, thematic confrontation.
