What do you think about The Lord of the Rings Living Card Game? To be honest, I would be very surprised if the game doesn’t make it to mobile. The game will go into PC Early Access first, but Asmodee Digital has told me that other platforms are possible. And remember, you’ll always know what’s in the packs you buy since this is a Living Card Game. The game will launch as free-to-play with plenty of additional content coming down the pipe (new card packs, campaigns, etc). There are other big differences between the two versions (fewer phases, different deckbuilding rules, etc), which should make it feel pretty different from the physical version. And, of course, the digital version will have an actual AI programmed to play like a human opponent. The other main change is that instead of using cards to represent your quests and the environments you’ll encounter, the Living Card Game will take advantage of the digital space to bring those quests and environments to life. One of the major differences between the physical version of the game and the digital one is that the digital will come with 10-20 minute play-sessions (versus 90 minute-long ones in the physical game), which also tells me that the developers are probably considering the constraints of mobile gaming as they develop the game. So those who hate that kind of monetization system should be happy with getting to play a Living Card Game instead.
A Living Card Game doesn’t have any randomness in any of the packs you unlock through gameplay you can actually look at the contents of them and know what you’re getting. As designer Caleb Grace explains, the Living Card Game is, first of all, the first digital Living Card Game. While the digital game will use the physical version of The Lord of the Rings: The Card Game as inspiration, it will depart from it in notable ways. So, instead of just playing a competitive card game with a Lord of the Rings theme, you use cards to emulate the adventures that Tolkien describes and many more inspired by the world he created. The forces of Sauron will be controlled by the AI, and you-either solo or alongside another player-get to experience a journey that unfolds over multiple adventures of a narrative campaign.
