What is The Lord of the Rings: The Card Game about?

The Lord of the Rings: The Card Game is a solo or 2 player collaborative adventure game where players try to complete a scenario. Players are supported with up to three heroes of their choice, a deck of allies, events and attachments. These are used each round to send their heroes and allies to quest or to fight with enemies that engage with them. Each round consists of 7 phases that players resolve in the following order: 

1. Resource
2. Planning
3. Quest 
4. Travel
5. Encounter
6. Combat
7. Refresh

After the completion of all 7 phases, the round ends and a new one begins. Rounds are played like this until the end of the game. To conclude the game, at least one player has to complete the final quest card of a scenario in order to win. If all players are eliminated from the game before all quests are completed, the game ends and the players lose.
