The Lord of the Rings - Duel for Middle Earth

The Lord of the Rings - Duel for Middle Earth

Will you lead the Fellowship of the Ring, to defend the free peoples and destroy the Ring or will you embody Sauron, to go after Frodo and Sam, while pouring your hordes at the gates of the enemy cities? The fate of Middle-earth is in your hands!

A game is played in 3 successive chapters that unfold in a similar way. The cards of the current chapter are shuffled then placed according to a precise pattern with some cards visible, others face down, and cards overlapping. On your turn, take one of the accessible cards and apply its effect: develop your Skills, inflate your treasure, place fortresses on the central board, move your troops, catch up with Frodo with your Nazgul before he reaches Mount Doom, make alliances with the Free Peoples, etc.
You immediately win the game by fulfilling one of the 3 victory conditions: completing the Quest for the Ring (or catching up with Frodo), gathering the support of 6 different Peoples, or conquering Middle-earth.

A game inspired by the mechanics of 7 Wonders Duel.
