Questions
Playing the card game,
online.
- Can I play The Lord of the Rings: The Card Game online?
- Yes, in your browser, with nothing to install. Choose a quest and a deck from Play, share the table’s code with your fellowship, and the table deals, stages, attacks and resolves everything the rules ask for.
- Can I play solo?
- Yes. A table seats one to four players, and a table of one is the solo game, against the same encounter deck.
- Do I need an account?
- Only to sit at a table. The card database, the deckbuilder and the tutorial are open to everyone. Accounts are by invitation for now.
- Which cards and quests are in?
- The Core Set, The Black Riders and The Road Darkens, The Lost Realm and the Angmar Awakened adventure packs, and the four 2022 Starter Decks: 498 cards in all, and 18 quests. The card database has a page for each one.
- Can I bring my RingsDB decks?
- Yes. Paste a decklist link into the deckbuilder and the list arrives as a draft, with any card this table does not deal yet named so you can replace it.
- Is it free?
- Yes. Play Rings Online is a free fan project, and there is nothing to buy.
- Is Play Rings Online official?
- No. It is an independent, unofficial fan project, not affiliated with or endorsed by Fantasy Flight Games or Middle-earth Enterprises. If you enjoy it, buy the game.
