War of the Ring: The Card Game (Scripted and Complete)

Description
- Brand new setup screen that will give you easy acces to all available/different scenario's and game modes. The table will then automatically setup the needed components for you (as of 01/05/2024).
- Automated calculation of strength/defense and Victory Points.
- Scripted for smoother gameplay.
- Complete with multiple different game modes and the Against the Shadow expansions (as of 01/01/2024).

Inspired by the best-selling and award-winning War of the Ring board game, War of the Ring: The Card Game allows players to journey to the world of J.R.R. Tolkien’s The Lord of the Rings and create their own version of the dramatic conflict between the Dark Lord, Sauron, and the Free Peoples of Middle-earth.

In War of the Ring: The Card Game, up to 4 players compete in two teams, the Shadow against the Free Peoples, each player using a specific and different card deck representing the strengths and weaknesses of the different factions involved in the war.

The Free Peoples desperately try to complete their quest to destroy the One Ring, while at the same time defending their homelands from the encroaching hordes of Sauron and from his evil allies.

The Shadow players must strike quickly and decisively, before the Ring-bearers can complete their quest; or try to slowly corrupt Frodo, burdening him with wounds, toil, and the sorrow for the loss of his Companions.

During the game, players will take turns playing cards representing the characters, armies, items, and events of the War of the Ring. Each card they play will help or hinder the journey of the Fellowship as it progresses on its Path; or be used to defend or conquer the strongholds of Middle-earth, as they fight to control the new Battleground cards activated in each round.

With more than 100 original illustrations from the greatest Tolkienian artists in the world, including an amazing gallery of landscapes from The Shire to Mordor by John and Fataneh Howe, War of the Ring: The Card Game is more than a game – it also a memorable collection for all lovers of the world imagined by J.R.R. Tolkien.

This is your chance to forge the destiny of an age, like you never did before!

I load the 2 Player Duel (standard) -> I include the Against the Shadow option (no house rules). The game chat immediately prompts that each of the 4 promo cards is "in play". I did not choose a color at this point. I place the 2 FP promo cards face-up on top of the FP deck (vertical stack). After this I place the 2 SP promo cards face-up on top of the SP deck. For these two actions there is no prompt in the game chat. After this I click the button "Deal cards and start the game". Once I hit confirm I get immediately prompted "Please choose how you wish to use your Promo cards before starting the game!" and it can only be resolved by placing the promo cards into the eliminated area or in the cycle pile. (Both action prompt that the cards are no longer in play).

@Zephyr and @Grim Reaper It could be that you're pressing the button too fast after placing the last promo into your deck. I've tried reproducing the issue several times but it seems work just fine for me. If it happens again, please tell me what you see in the game-chat regarding the promos.

I am struggling with the same issue as @Grim Rapper before. I am playing the Duel Scenario with Against the Shadow enabled. I want to play with the Promo cards. When I add them to the decks and the press "deal cards and start game" button I still get the warning "please choose how you wish to use your promo card". Putting them instead into the Eliminate pile works. Am I doing something wrong? What exactly is the right step to add the Promo cards to the game?

Hey @Lathelus, it should do this automatically of the battleground is dragged from the opposing scoring area.
e.g. The Free Peoples win Lorien so it gets moved to the FP scoring area. Later on the Shadow reactivates it draggin it from the scoring area back to the table. The 2 shields should be ignored.

If it fails you can simply add 2 attack tokens to the battleground

Hi, amazing mod, got hooked recently to it. How can I reactivate a stronghold, so that the defense value of the card is not counted?
Annatar  [author] 25 Apr @ 7:12am 
When playing Against the Shadow on easy, the Shadow bots draw 1 fewer card than what they are supposed to draw in that scenario. So in Trilogy they draw 3 cards instead of 4. That is intended.
As for the starting player token being stuck, that will be fixed in the next update. Usually you can just flip the token and it becomes unstuck, or through the menu like you said.

In Against the Shadow mode. Why does the shadow also get 3 cards when drawing cards? This is not a rule. The rule is shadow 4, free people 3. Please be aware that ALL players get 3 cards. This is a mistake.

@Grim Rapper. There are cards above your draw cycle that are promo cards, you have to put them in deck or eliminate them. Some people prefer to play vanilla without them. I have them in my game always, because i like more cards ;)

I am trying to start a 2-4 trilogy mode. I am pressing on the "deal cards and start game button," and I am keep getting a message telling me "please choose how you wish to use your promo card" is this a bug? or am i missing something?
⎝✧Wyrd Deofol✧⎠ 18 Apr @ 6:11am 
Ok thanks. Another thing, in the against the shadow version for 5-6 players. The starting player token is glued to the overview card. I cannot seem to separate them. Only though the menu (lock)
