Confront a dangerous cult in A Shadow in the East, the eighth deluxe expansion for The Lord of the Rings: The Card Game! The power of Mordor stretches across the realm, darkening the hearts of those who fall under its influence and threatening the once-peaceful lands of Rhu^n. Only Middle-earth's bravest heroes can hope to stand against the spread of evil when a band of desperate Dorwinions come to ask for aid. Your team of heroes will embark on a dangerous journey into darkness in three new quests that take you down the River Running, to the capital city of Dorwinion, and further into the Hills of Rhu^n.
With new hero and player cards to further customize your adventures, this deluxe expansion kicks off the "Vengeance of Mordor" cycle with grand fanfare, introducing the game's first double-sided hero, as well as a new version of The One Ring and a new card type in the form of contracts. Assemble your Fellowship and prepare for a daring mission in the shadow of Mordor!
