The Lord of The Rings: Living Card Game PC (Asmodee Digital/Fantasy Flight Interactive)Fantasy Flight Interactive and Asmodee Digital are teaming up to bring the hit The Lord of the Rings: The Card Game to PC. No word yet on when the game will enter early access on Steam but the announcement mentions this title will be free to play. Obviously, there will be add ons (more than likely additional decks) available for purchase but it’s mighty cool we’ll be seeing this in the next few months and score freebie game play.

Here’s the announcement:

Asmodee Digital and Fantasy Flight Interactive announce they are partnering to bring The Lord of the Rings: The Card Game to PC, as a digitally optimized adaption of the best-selling Living Card Game from Fantasy Flight Games.

Fantasy Flight Games revolutionized tabletop card games with the highly successful The Lord of the Rings: The Card Game. As a Living Card Game, The Lord of the Rings: The Card Game relied on a fixed distribution of cards to remove randomness from the purchase model and brought players deeper into The Lord of the Rings universe with a focus on immersive, narrative-driven experiences. Now, Fantasy Flight Interactive brings that same The Lord of The Rings: Living Card Game PC Spiders (Asmodee Digital/Fantasy Flight Interactive)philosophy to the digital card game market with The Lord of the Rings Living Card Game—a completely unique digital card game with a non-randomized approach to card purchasing and a focus on cooperative, story-based gameplay.

“The Lord of the Rings Living Card Game takes what fans love about the physical card game—adventure, lore, and a chance to play using powerful characters and artifacts—and adapts it for an entirely unique interactive experience on the PC,” said Tim Gerritsen, Head of Fantasy Flight Interactive. “For those unfamiliar with the card game, the digital adaptation invites players to become a part of the fantastical world J.R.R. Tolkien created and embark on new adventures.”

As a single-player experience, The Lord of the Rings Living Card Game tasks players with leading a team of three heroes through a series of narrative campaigns across Middle-earth as they face off against the dark forces of Sauron, controlled by the computer. Players will forge their own fellowships and build decks comprised of ally, event, and equipment cards to face challenges that test their willpower, knowledge, tactics and leadership. In the future, The Lord of the Rings Living Card Game will be expanded to support co-op play, allowing two players to bring their fellowships together and fight through quests side-by-side!
