The journey continues in the magical world of Middle-earth in The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers™ Trick-Taking Game. This narrative driven cooperative card game lets players take on the roles of heroes and villains in Tolkien’s legendary work, The Two Towers. A standalone follow up to last year’s The Fellowship of the Ring Trick Taking Game, new mechanics, new characters, and beautiful stained-glass art make this an unforgettable experience. Designed by Bryan Bornmueller, a true Tolkien fanatic, he expertly weaves the story into the gameplay in new fun and thematic ways.
Adventure with friends or Journey Alone!
The experience you want to have with The Two Towers Trick Taking Game is yours to choose! In the three or four player modes, collaborate with your friends to work together to victory, but remember, you can only chat about information that’s public, making the game even more challenging. With two players or on your own a card pyramid serves as the extra player allowing for interesting interactions and leaning on the importance of planning ahead. No matter how you choose to play, you’ll be transported to another world where rich experiences await!
Follow the story of the second novel!
The Two Towers Trick-Taking Game picks up where Fellowship of the Ring Trick-Taking Game left off! As the party splits up, going three different directions, you’ll be taken through seventeen new chapters following the paths of Merry and Pippin’s capture, Aragorn, Legolas, and Gimli’s legendary battle at Helm’s Deep, and join Sam, Frodo, and Gollum as they trek to Mordor. We recommend following the story in chapter order to get the full narrative experience, but if you want to skip to your favorite scene, that’s doable as well! The big story moments you’ll encounter are presented using text straight from the novel and really help set the scene as you start each chapter!
The beloved stained-glass art from the first game is back!
Elaine Ryan takes us back into her version of Middle-earth with whimsical stained-glass art straight from a fairytail! Every character from the first game receives new art as well as every suit receiving a new interpretation based on where scene from the second novel take place. As we continue to roll out the game be sure to watch for some of our favorite piece showcased on our social channels.
