War of the Ring: The Card Game

The WAR OF THE RING is a grand strategy board game that allows its players to immerse themselves in the world of J.R.R. Tolkien’s THE LORD OF THE RINGS™ and experience its epic action, dramatic conflict, and memorable characters. As the Free Peoples player you command the proud hosts of the most important kingdoms of the Third Age. From the horse-lords of Rohan to the soldiers of Gondor and the Elven lords of Rivendell, you lead the defense of the last free realms of Middle-earth. Face the evil minions of Sauron on the field of battle in a desperate attempt to delay their onslaught, while you lead the Fellowship of the Ring in the Quest for Mount Doom. As the Shadow player you lead the hordes of the Dark Lord and his most powerful minions as they try to bring darkness to Middle-earth. Legions of Orcs, Trolls, Wolfriders and the dreadful Ringwraiths await your command. Hunt the Ring-bearer and bring the precious Ring to his Master, or crush your enemies with your unstoppable armies. This is your chance to forge the destiny of an age...

What if the Battle of Five Armies was lost by the Free Peoples, and Dáin never became King Under the Mountain? What if the Dwarves of the Iron Hills were just the scattered survivors of their kin, fighting a strenuous battle to defend their homes? What if Dale was never rebuilt?When playing the War of the Ring boardgame, we assume the “historical” outcome for the Battle of Five Armies. The Fate of Erebor is a variant for War of the Ring which you play assuming the Shadow player won the Battle of Five Armies, changing the course of history drastically. Orcs settle in the Lonely Mountain and establish a stronghold there. Dwarves remain in the Iron Hills, but their community is far from thriving. In the wake of the lost battle, Laketown is no more, and the Kingdom of Dale is never re-established, only ruins remaining. How much can the Fate of Erebor change the course of the War of the Ring? You can find out, playing this variant.In this mini-expansion set for the War of the Ring boardgame, you can find all you need to “adapt” the game to this possible outcome of the Battle of Five Armies. You can find in this set a rule sheet, 4 board overlay tiles to place on the game board, 8 alternate cards (4 Free Peoples Event cards, 2 Shadow Event cards, and 2 Alternate Gimli Character cards).In the rule sheet you find the new set up with the changes on the map, and all the instructions to play this alternative scenario, increasing the game’s possibilities for all the fans.THIS IS NOT A COMPLETE GAME.You must own a copy of War of the Ring Set to play.

Der Ringkrieg hat begonnen … Der Ringkrieg ist ein episches Strategiespiel, mit dem bis zu vier Spieler in die Welt von J. R. R. Tolkiens DER HERR DER RINGE TM mit all seinen gigantischen Schlachten, dramatischen Wendungen und unvergesslichen Charakteren eintauchen können. Ein Spieler übernimmt die Führung über die Heere der Freien Völker. Unter diesem Banner scharen sich im Dritten Zeitalter die letzten freien Königreiche Mittelerdes: von den Reitern aus Rohan und den stolzen Kriegern Gondors bis hin zu den mächtigen Elben Bruchtals. Dieser Spieler muss sich in einem verzweifelten Kampf den schrecklichen Horden Saurons stellen, um der Gemeinschaft des Rings genug Zeit zu geben, den Schicksalsberg zu erreichen. Ein anderer Spieler übernimmt die Schattenseite und führt die mächtigen Diener und Heere Saurons ins Feld, um ganz Mittelerde zu unterwerfen: Scharen von Orks, Trollen und Warg-Reitern und nicht zuletzt die entsetzlichen Ringgeister. Er jagt den Ringträger, um den Einen Ring zu seinem Meister zurückzubringen, und entfesselt seine gewaltigen Armeen, um den Widerstand des Westens zu brechen.

In Frostpunk: The Board Game, up to four players will take on the role of leaders of a small colony of survivors in a post-apocalyptic world that was hit by a severe ice age. Their duty is to effectively manage both its infrastructure and citizens. The core gameplay will be brutal, challenging, and complex, but easy to learn. The citizens won’t just be speechless pieces on the board. Society members will issue demands and react accordingly to the current mood, so every decision and action bears consequences. The players will decide the fate of their people. Will you treat them like another resource? Are you going to be an inspiring builder, a fearless explorer, or a bright scientist? Is your rule going to be a sting of tyranny or an era of law and equality?

When you think of a Village builder you sometimes think of card tableaux or static hex tile grids. Think again! Lots of buildings, all with different shapes, all fitting together in interesting ways. One central Hamlet that the players contribute to, with its own self-forming demand and supply economy. Villagers walking through the Hamlet, delivering food to households and building resources to construction sites. And one day, the Church will finally be built, and the once-little Hamlet has become a fledgling town. Who will be the biggest benefactor when that happens?
