About the deck
For over a decade I’ve wanted to produce a series of playing cards that bring the story and characters of Middle-earth to card enthusiasts, collectors, and those who simply love a good family game night. This is why I am so excited to introduce Volume 3 of our The Lord of the Rings playing cards, The Return of the King™.
Officially licensed by Middle-earth Enterprises, this project will conclude a trilogy of card decks based on the trilogy of The Lord of the Rings books.
Continuing on the foundations set by both The Fellowship of the Ring™ and The Two Towers™ decks, The Return of the King playing cards are uniquely illustrated and designed with as much detail as possible to honour and uphold the mastery of Tolkien. We hope that fans worldwide will love seeing the story in a new way. This deck includes beloved characters including Aragorn and Arwen, Sam carrying Frodo, The King of the Dead, Denethor, Sauron, and many more. You can see the list of characters and how they are portrayed on the court cards below. Each character from The Return of the King is lifted directly and faithfully from the text and brought to life in a whole new light.
