Hand management games are games with cards in them that reward players for playing the cards in certain sequences or groups. The optimal sequence/grouping may vary, depending on board position, cards held and cards played by opponents. Managing your hand means gaining the most value out of available cards under given circumstances. Cards often have multiple uses in the game, further obfuscating an "optimal" sequence.
The Road Darkens
The Road Darkens is the second Lord of the Rings Saga Expansion for The Lord of the Rings: The Card Game.
Its 165 cards introduce three new scenarios to the game, along with two heroes, twenty-seven player cards (three copies each of nine different player cards), eight boons, and seven burdens. Together, these cards allow you to immerse yourself in some of the most pivotal moments of Middle-earth’s Third Age.
From the Council of Elrond through the breaking of the Fellowship, The Road Darkens allows you to join Frodo Baggins and his companions on their all-important quest. Along the way, you’ll experience an epic series of memorable encounters drawn directly from the second half of The Fellowship of the Ring!
The Root of Corruption
Following on the heels of Thunderstone Advance: Caverns of Bane, Thunderstone emerges into the deepest trouble yet. The tunnels under the fortress at Cheah Dell are clear. The lost dwarven kingdom of Caligin is reclaimed. And the djinni lich, Mowtil, has been defeated, sealing the portal of black flame into Tala. The adventurers have collected three more Thunderstones, and Doom's full plans are revealed. He has corrupted the heart of Tala, Dun Ordha. A monstrous army marches on the capital city, even as the final Thunderstone is revealed to be held by King Caelan himself. Can the adventurers race ahead of an army to save the city from a siege outside the walls and sickly corruption within?
Thunderstone Advance: Root of Corruption, the second expansion for Thunderstone Advance, introduces new challenges and an all-new way to play: co-op! It also features ruinous sin incarnates, vicious scavenger gnolls, thrall summoners to bring back memorable foes, seven new heroes, six new monster groups, fifteen new village cards, and a new poster map board that creates options for co-op play using existing cards and rules! What's more, all Ambusher cards from Towers of Ruin and Caverns of Bane have been reprinted with updated graphics to increase visibility.
The Voice of Isengard
The Dark Lord’s power grows in the East, and all that stands between him and his conquest of Middle-earth is a missing ring. These are dark times, but there are still some individuals who scour the lands and delve into ancient tomes in search of the knowledge they hope may help them someday oppose the Enemy. Among the mightiest of these is Saruman the White.
The Voice of Isengard is the third deluxe expansion for The Lord of the Rings: The Card Game and transports your adventures to Isengard and its surrounding environs. With its 156 cards (including three copies of each player card), The Voice of Isengard introduces three new scenarios in which your heroes must race to gain knowledge of the Enemy while the time remains to strike. Additionally, a wealth of new player cards and new heroes reflect the strength of Orthanc and the neighboring Rohirrim.
Traders and Barbarians
Well-tried variants such as CATAN Event Cards, Harbormaster, and Catan for Two offer alternatives for customizing the game to your own needs. In addition, the 2-player variant allows you to play the Base Game as well as all scenarios of this expansion against only one opponent.
Over the course of a campaign with five scenarios, the story is told of how things develop on Catan after the first settlements and cities are built.
Washington Z.C.
Before the outbreak, many people would complain that their government was full of braindead zombies. Well, now that’s a 100% accurate assessment. The nation’s capital has been overrun, and the U.S. Government has been shut down permanently. But there seems to be a lot of action going on over at the White House. It sounds like there might be some survivors, as well as probably some secure spots to survive against the zombies... hopefully they’re not too infested.
In Zombicide: Washington Z.C., players will have all-new challenges facing them during the zombie apocalypse. The set adds new survivors, of course, as well as new missions, but it also brings a new campaign mode where players’ progress is saved between scenarios, letting them start with better gear and skills at the start of the next game. Time is also not on the survivor’s side, as night is falling. Sure, they may be able to stay hidden from zombies in the dark, but it also means that there could suddenly be undead popping up out of the shadows.
Wrath of the Elements
Thunderstone returns with all new monsters, heroes, equipment, and now... traps! Thunderstone brought dungeon crawling to the deck-building game genre, and Wrath of the Elements takes Thunderstone to a new level. With seven new heroes, six new monster types, and many new village cards
Forbidden Stars
Forbidden Stars challenges you and up to three other players to take command of a mighty fighting force: the Ultramarines chapter of Space Marines, the Eldar of Craftworld Iyanden, the Evil Sunz Ork clan, or the World Eaters Warband of the Chaos Space Marines. Each faction offers unique armies and play styles, but your goal remains the same – to claim the key objectives selected for your faction. These objective tokens are scattered throughout the Herakon Cluster, but your opponents are sure to defend your objectives against you. You’ll need to build massive armies and command them in unending war to best your enemies and claim your objectives. The fight for the Herakon Cluster is brutal and bloody, and you will either stride triumphant over the bodies of your fallen foes, or they will do the same to you.
