The War of the Ring is an epic board game experience that allows its players to immerse themselves in J.R.R. Tolkein's classic story and experience its epic action, dramatic conflict, and the memorable characters of The Lord of the Rings.
While the Fellowship of the Ring advances towards Mordor, the Dark Lord Sauron tries to find the location of the Ring-bearer, and unleashes his armies against the last strongholds of the Free Peoples.
Long in the making, this massive game based on J.R.R.Tolkien’s The
Lord of the Rings allows players to experience the dramatic events and
epic conflict that occurred before the end of the Third Age of Middle
Earth.The War of the Ring allows players to not only control the
military might of Men, Elves, Dwarves, Hobbits, and the forces of
Sauron, but also Tolkien’s legendary characters, making the fateful
decisions of the Fellowship of the Ring or guiding the dreadful
servants of Sauron as they hunt for the ringbearer.
War of
the Ring is usually playable in under three hours but can last longer
if played with more than two players. In the game, players will either
take command of the armies of the Free Peoples or the dark host of the
Shadow. Over the course of play, armies will clash on the field of
battle, while a brave group of companions, the Fellowship of the Ring,
advances towards Mordor. As the Fellowship approaches the fastness of
the Dark Lord Sauron, they will seek to complete their desperate quest
to destroy the One Ring, the master ring forged by Sauron himself.
