📖 About This Game

The Thing in the Depths is the second Adventure Pack in the Dream-chaser cycle for The Lord of the Rings: The Card Game. Having caught up to the Corsairs' Stormcaller after a harrowing pursuit across troubled seas, several of Middle-earth's heroes prepare to lead a boarding party in order to reclaim the Númenorean artifact the Corsairs had stolen. However, their battle with the seasoned Corsair warriors is only the first act in a scenario that quickly spirals into nightmare when the waters beneath the Stormcaller begin to churn and massive, tentacled arms erupt from the sea to grapple the ship and the sailors aboard it!
