'The Mines of Moria' FFG Event at GenCon

Fantasy Flight Games will be letting players take their fellowship deep into the depths of the ancient halls of the Dwarves in 'The Mines of Moria,' a recently announced event at GenCon for its living card game The Lord of the Rings: The Card Game.

In The Mines of Moria, players will be able to play with a new expansion pack of 78 cards that features new quests and encounters, as well as twists on familiar cards with new and unexpected abilities. Using the 7 new quest cards and 14 new encounter decks (consisting of 5 cards each), players will be able to design their own custom adventure for their exploration of Moria. Players have increased flexibility with how they design their scenario, with the quick-build option having players simply select 5 encounter decks or the advanced-build which allows players to select 35 individual encounter cards from the various encounter decks, giving even more options for customization.

Creatures that the players will face include spiders, cave trolls, goblins, The Watcher of the West Gate and others familiar from the novels, as well as new creatures such as savage werewolves.

In addition to the standard cooperative mode, players can also now choose to play competitively, with two or four players competing individually or in teams of two to be the first to overcome their opponent's designed scenario.

Registration for this GenCon event is live now, with tickets priced at $30 per seat. More information about this event can be found here.
