Story Driven Card Games

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Lord of the Rings: Living Card Game is PvE Focused and Tells a Story

— April 19, 2018 — Tech
The Lord of the Rings: Living Card Game combines the legendary fantasy franchise with the incredibly popular combat game genre to create a unique story-driven experience. Based on the physical card game, this digital version will have players leading their own fellowship of Middle Earth heroes on an adventure to against the forces of Sauron. Unlike most combat card games, The Lord of the Rings: Living Card Game focuses solely on a PvE storytelling experience that aims to drop players into a living world.

The Lord of the Rings: Living Card Game also sets itself apart from other collectible card combat games in its business model. While most car games force players to buy multiple random packs to get the desired combination of cards, this game lets players buy a preset deck or individual cards. This approach ensures that players can get exactly what they want and also allows for more controlled experimentation on the part of the player. Specific decks can be easily assembled as cards can be bought individually with no sense of randomness.
