Ebla Restored

Knowledge stolen from the ruins of an ancient city now steers the fate of the world. The third Asylum Pack in the Revelations cycle for Call of Cthulhu: The Card Game, Ebla Restored adds to the cycle’s focus on the power and dangers of eldritch knowledge. Its new cards promote exciting new synergies between dark Tomes and the daring Relic Hunters who seek them. Meanwhile, players gain unprecedented control over their decks and discard piles, finding new ways to work with lost knowledge. Will the forgotten secrets of ancient Ebla provide you the answers you need to stymie your foes? Will humanity tremble before the terrifying might of the Ancient Ones restored to their former glory, or will heroic investigators and scientists thwart them and their zealous cultists to maintain sanity, at least for another day?

Drums in the Deep! It has been many years since the Dwarves last heard from Balin and his fledgling colony. Reports have ceased to flow of the great works they began. Now the heroes of Middle-earth must search for signs of them among the mines of Moria.

The first deluxe expansion for The Lord of the Rings: The Card Game, Khazad-dum transports players to the mines of Moria where the heroes of Middle-earth must search for Balin and his fledgling colony of Dwarves years after anyone last heard from them. With 165 new cards, Khazad-dum provides players two new Dwarf heroes, and new allies, attachments, and events, plus features the first step in the game’s ongoing narrative with nine new encounter sets that, combined, introduces three new, thrilling scenarios in Khazad-dum and lays the groundwork for the scenarios from the upcoming Dwarrowdelf Cycle of Adventure Packs.

Coming soon from Fantasy Flight Games

The Greenskin horde is gathering under a banner of war, eager for fightin’, slayin’, and lootin’ – and unless they are stopped, their Waaagh! will leave the Old World in ruins!

Prepare for the onslaught with The Iron Rock, the third Battle Pack in The Capital Cycle for Warhammer: Invasion The Card Game.
