Your task is to stop the Dark Lord Sauron from winning back the One Ring, which Frodo Baggins has inherited, and which Sauron will use to forever enslave the land. You must journey through Middle Earth, taking on the challenges of four of the most hazardous regions of the land - Moria, Helm's Deep, Shelob's Lair and Mordor - and destroy the ring in the volcanic fires of Mount Doom. Join Frodo and his friends Merry, Pippen, Fatty, and Sam on a perilous adventure across Middle Earth, using skill and fortune to guide you while preventing the Ringbearer from becoming corrupted. Created by master designer Reiner Knizia, this innovative game follows the book closely, is fully illustrated by celebrated Tolkien artist John Howe, and won the Games Magazine Family Game of the Year award. In addition, this game is unique and original in which players must work together to defeat the game itself, a daunting task that will challenge even the most experienced players. Includes 1 Master Board, 2 double-sided Scenario Boards, 1 Sauron figure, 5 Hobbit figures, 6 markers, 60 Hobbit cards, 5 Character cards, 5 Gandalf cards, 35 feature cards, 23 square Event tiles, 11 round Life tokens, 32 shields, 1 Ring, 1 die, 1 Hall of Fame sheet, and instructions.
