The Lord of the Rings Tarot is a book describing a Tarot deck and a card game based on The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit. The book is accompanied by the own pack of cards called The Lord of the Rings Tarot Deck & Card Game.
Synopsis of the publisher[edit | edit source]
The Lord of the Rings Tarot unites two great traditions: the spiritual, mystical tradition of the tarot, and the world of folklore and fairy tales that is most delightfully depicted in the works of J.R.R. Tolkien. The added factor of a card game summons you to travel through Middle-earth to reach Mount Doom and destroy the One Ring!
Fanciful characters and scenes from J.R.R. Tolkien's 'The Lord of the Rings' trilogy and 'The Hobbit' appear on each of the 22 Major Arcana and 56 Minor Arcana cards. Rules are included for a card game for 2-6 players, ages 10 to adult.
