Race across Middle-earth as heroes countering Sauron's growing shadow in this narrative adventure set between The Hobbit and LOTR.
Vibe's take
Tolkien world immersion, narrative adventure, one-vs-many tension, Middle-earth exploration
Who it's for
Tolkien devotees who want to explore Middle-earth during the rising shadow period with a dedicated gaming group.
Not for you if…
You need shorter games or prefer Tolkien games focused on specific battles rather than sprawling adventures.
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.
