Come back to The Black Riders with The Black Riders Nightmare Decks for The Lord of the Rings: The Card Game, but this time, the Nazgûl you'll face are deadlier and more persistant than ever!

Combined in one single package, you'll find three twenty-card Nightmare Decks, one for each of the three scenarios from The Black Riders Saga Expansion. These Nightmare Decks introduce new setup and encounter decks that greatly increase the difficulty of the scenarios they modify, even as they explore new themes and characters, such as the game's second named Nazgûl, Khamûl the Easterling!

The Nazgûl feature prominently through these Nightmare Decks, even as they are accompanied by other cards that force you into difficult decisions as doom closes in upon you. Moreover, if you're playing through the scenarios in Campaign Mode, your decisions can haunt you throughout the whole duration of your journey to Mount Doom, as The Black Riders Nightmare Decks also kicks off your Nightmare Mode The Lord of the Rings campaign. The chances are greater than ever that your Ring-bearer will truly feel the weight and burden of the One Ring!
