About this game
The definitive Lord of the Rings board game — one player marches armies across Middle-earth while the other sneaks a Fellowship toward Mount Doom. Dice drive your actions, cards create cinematic moments, and the tension between military and narrative victory is unmatched. This IS the epic two-player experience.
