Embark on the legendary adventure in a cooperative, card-based game where players take on the roles of beloved characters and work together to complete objectives and overcome challenges.

About The Fellowship of the Ring: Trick Taking Game

Follow the key story beats of the iconic fantasy tale by J. R. R. Tolkien, starting with Bilbo Baggins’ Eleventy-First birthday party in Bag End.

Players are taken through eighteen total chapters chronologically, focusing on big story moments and the beloved literary characters among them.

Each chapter introduces new challenges, characters, and items; slowly revealing cards that build toward the forming of The Fellowship. Story cards are used at the beginning of each chapter, featuring actual text from the book, to set the mood as you begin your adventure.

The deck consists of 37 cards, with one card being set aside as "lost" each hand. Whoever is dealt the One Ring becomes Frodo, then other players choose from the available characters based on their hand. The One Ring is the game's only trump card, but initially rings can't be led until someone plays one off-suit.

In the two-player game, one hand of cards is dealt to a dummy player, with some cards being face up and others face down. This dummy is assigned a character, and one of the human players will play cards for it based on which cards are free to be played.

In the solitaire game, one player plays four hands of face-up cards, with each hand being assigned a character and only a few cards being available at a time. After you play a trick, deal each hand a new card.
