How co-op works

Two online players bring separately built three-hero decks into the same quest. They coordinate card plays, attacks, defenses, resources, and Willpower generation while advancing shared objectives and managing the team’s Fate pool before Sauron’s threat overwhelms the fellowship.

About this game

This tactical card game takes you through story-driven quests set in famous Middle-earth locations, where you build a deck of iconic heroes and face off against Sauron's forces. It plays as true co-op, letting you team up with another player to tackle the same scenarios you can attempt solo, with every decision and card play contributing to your shared fate.

The core loop revolves around deck construction, resource management, and tactical card play during turn-based encounters. You will travel through narrative campaigns, making strategic choices about which heroes to deploy, when to commit resources, and how to counter enemy threats. Coordinating with a partner adds a layer of puzzle-solving as you optimize timing and card combos together.

Online co-op is supported across Windows and Mac with cross-platform multiplayer, so you can bring a friend into the quest regardless of operating system. Sessions demand steady communication and joint planning, creating a rhythm of deliberation and tactical execution that rewards players who enjoy coordination-heavy teamwork.
