Card Game
The first German Lord of the Rings film game is a small card game about the Fellowship of the Ring, though it is quite abstract. The rules are relatively simple, with some German text on the cards, which may require a cheat sheet for those less familiar with the language. This game was later rebranded as King's Gate.
