The Fellowship of the Ring Trick-Taking Game rulebook details a cooperative card game based on J.R.R. Tolkien's story. Players work together, using trick-taking mechanics, to complete character-specific goals across 18 chapters. Gameplay involves leading and following suit, with the highest card of the lead suit winning each trick, except for the powerful One Ring card. The rules explain setup, card play, character goals, and chapter-specific variations, including solo and two-player adaptations. Winning requires all players to achieve their objectives within a round, otherwise they lose and can retry.
