Asmodee The Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Ring - Cooperative Trick-Taking Game

Embark on a cooperative journey through Middle-earth

Step into the world of The Lord of the Rings with Asmodee’s Fellowship of the Ring: a cooperative trick-taking card game designed for 1–4 players, ages 10 and up. In about 20 minutes per session, you and your fellow players weave through chapters inspired by the first book, aiming to advance the story together. The game invites players to balance risk and teamwork as you navigate through quests, encounter new characters, and make shared decisions that shape the path ahead.

What makes this game feel fresh is how strategy unfolds through collaboration. Rather than competing to win individually, your group negotiates, plans, and executes a shared approach to each trick. The pace is lively enough for family game nights, yet provides enough depth for friends who enjoy a light strategy challenge and story-driven play.
