About this game

Set between The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings, one player controls Sauron's growing influence while others play heroes racing across Middle-earth to counter his plots. Middle-Earth Quest captures Tolkien's world during the shadowy years when darkness was rising but not yet revealed. The card-based combat, narrative encounters, and sprawling map create an adventure game that feels like living in a Tolkien story. A one-vs-many epic for dedicated groups.
