War of The Ring:
In War of the Ring, one player takes control of the Free Peoples (FP), the other player controls Shadow Armies (SA). Initially, the Free People Nations are reluctant to take arms against Sauron, so they must be attacked by Sauron or persuaded by Gandalf or other Companions, before they start to fight properly: this is represented by the Political Track, which shows if a Nation is ready to fight in the War of the Ring or not.
War of the Ring (Second Edition) can be won by a military victory, if Sauron conquers a certain number of Free People cities and strongholds or vice versa. But the true hope of the Free Peoples lies with the quest of the Ringbearer: while the armies clash across Middle Earth, the Fellowship of the Ring is trying to get secretly to Mount Doom to destroy the One Ring.
Sauron is not aware of the real intention of his enemies but is looking across Middle Earth for the precious Ring, so that the Fellowship is going to face numerous dangers, represented by the rules of The Hunt for the Ring. But the Companions can spur the Free Peoples to the fight against Sauron, so the Free People player must balance the need to protect the Ringbearer from harm, against the attempt to raise a proper defense against the armies of the Shadow, so that they do not overrun Middle Earth before the Ringbearer completes his quest.
Each game turn revolves around the roll of Action Dice: each die corresponds to an action that a player can do during a turn. Depending on the face rolled on each die, different actions are possible (moving armies, characters, recruiting troops, advancing a Political Track).
Action dice can also be used to draw or play Event Cards. Event Cards are played to represent specific events from the story (or events which could possibly have happened) which cannot be portrayed through normal game-play. Each Event Card can also create an unexpected turn in the game, allowing special actions or altering the course of a battle.
War of the Ring: Warriors of Middle Earth Expansion
Warriors of Middle–Earth™, the new expansion for War of the Ring™ Second Edition, brings a whole new level of strategy to all players of the award–winning Lord of the Rings™ boardgame, with many fresh and exciting gameplay possibilities to explore.
Many folks and creatures played a part in the War of the Ring: the mysterious Ents, the Dead Men of Dunharrow, the Great Eagles of the Misty Mountains, the Corsairs of Umbar, the Wild Hillmen of Dunland, the Giant Spiders of Mirkwood and Mordor.
Warriors of Middle–Earth™ gives new depth to the deeds of these combatants — previously featured in the game only as Event cards — now making them an essential part of the game, complete with unique figures and special abilities.
As the Free Peoples player, you can now muster the Ents to free Rohan, or even send them to protect Lórien or Gondor; storm the lands of the South leading an Army of the Dead; fly with the Eagles to the rescue of the Fellowship or to relieve a siege.
As the Shadow player, you can sail the dark ships of the Corsairs along the river Anduin or the coasts of the Western Sea; lead a horde of Dunlendings to take Edoras or put the Shire to the torch; let giant Spiders crawl out of the darkest recesses of Middle–earth to terrify your enemies…
With new special dice, two decks of Faction Events, and new figures, Warriors of Middle–Earth™ greatly expands the options of both Free Peoples and Shadow, and makes every War of the Ring™ Second Edition battle even more challenging and fun.
War of The Ring: Lords of Middle Earth
What if the Keepers of the Elven Rings had used their Rings of Power to challenge the might of the Dark Lord? What if the Balrog had risen out of Moria to bring fire and fury to the lands of the Free Peoples? What if the Council of Elrond had decided differently regarding the Fellowship of the Ring?
With Lords of Middle-earth, the first expansion for the War of the Ring (second edition) board game, players may explore these possibilities together with many other ones to create fresh gaming opportunities and new strategies.
Important personalities, previously featured in the game only through Event Cards, are represented by specific figures and rules. New Characters include Elrond, Galadriel, Sméagol, Gothmog, and the powerful Balrog of Moria, as well as alternate versions of Gandalf, the Witch-king, and the Mouth of Sauron.
New special Action Dice are included: Elven Ring Keepers dice for the Free Peoples player and Lesser Minion dice for the Shadow player. New versions of all the Companions of the Fellowship of the Ring are also included, to play the optional “Council of Rivendell” rules.
As an added bonus, figures for Aragorn and Gandalf the White are provided, accessories to the game that fans have been eagerly awaiting!
This is your chance to forge the destiny of an age…
