Lord of the Rings themed wargame for up to 3 players. Usually 2 players - one player plays as the forces of evil (Mordor), and the other the forces of good. Players battle it out, but also have to keep an eye on and spend actions to sneak/search for the ringbearer.

Every game is its own epic retelling of the Lord of the Rings. There's always some new twists to the familiar story. The game is long and a table hog, but more than worth it. My current favorite game, period.

Finaly managed to get the beast on the table. This is an epic game in all aspects and regards. The rulebook is almost as daunting as the actual Lord of the Ring trilogy. We had to refer to it so often that it almost felt like a court debate. The game is also very long. On the good side, the narrative is very real. It is Lord of the Ring in a box. Both players are on the edge of their seats in the final rounds, waiting to see if the armies of Sauron will crush the Free People before the ring is being tossed into the Crack of Doom. All in all, it is a very good wargame that is almost impossible to bring out due to its length and harsh rules (hence the rating). I do want to get it out again but would play a lot more often if it was shorter.
