"It may have been only a trick of the wind in the cracks and gullies of the rocky wall, but the sounds were those of shrill cries, and wild howls of laughter. Stones began to fall from the mountain-side, whistling over their heads..."

~ J.R.R. Tolkien, The Fellowship of the Ring ~

Crafted for use with The Lord of the Rings: The Card Game, Nightmare Decks allow players to revisit the three Core Set scenarios cast in the shadows of the game’s challenging new "Nightmare Mode". Featuring deadlier enemies, darker locations, and more terrifying surprises, each of these Nightmare Decks introduces twenty alternate encounter cards and rules for using them to reshape the encounter deck for one of the three Core Set scenarios. The result? A nightmarish journey back to the heart of Mirkwood that will have you on the edge of your seat!

Deep in the Misty Mountains, the Orcs are massing once more. But why are they massing? And who has called them? These are questions that need answering, but the answers lie deep within the heart of the Dwarrowdelf, an underground realm hidden behind treacherous mountain passes and magical doors. As the days grow shorter and the nights grow longer, will you join those heroes bound to explore the Dwarrowdelf and uncover its secrets?

Nightmare Decks for The Redhorn Gate, Road to Rivendell, and The Watcher in the Water allow you to revisit the first three scenarios from the Dwarrowdelf Cycle, but recast this time amid the deadly enemies, locations, and treacheries of the game’s Nightmare Mode.
