Relive The Fellowship Of The Ring With This New Lord Of The Rings Co-op Card Game

While Frodo and friends wrapped up their journey through Middle-earth decades ago, a recently released card game gives you a unique new way to experience the thrilling adventure. The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring Trick-Taking Game just launched on January 17, and it looks like a fun way for up to four players to relive the iconic tale. It’s relatively affordable at $25--and since matches only last for 20 minutes, it’s easy to squeeze a round into even the busiest of game nights. We’ve already seen the game go out of stock once, so if you’re interested, be sure to check it out soon.
