The Lord of the Rings: Duel for Middle-earth*

A dark rumor arises from Mordor, and the time has come for the Fellowship to unite once more. Players can choose to defend the free peoples as the Fellowship of the Ring or pursue Frodo and Sam as Sauron, deploying their hordes at enemy city gates. The fate of Middle-earth rests in your hands as you navigate the three chapters of the game, strengthening your skills and gathering resources to achieve one of the victory conditions.

Players can enhance their presence across Middle-earth and engage in strategic gameplay by collecting cards and landmarks, while aiming for specific objectives to secure an immediate win. If by the end of the third chapter none of the victory conditions are met, the player with the most presence in the regions of Middle-earth is declared the winner, with ties resulting in a shared victory.
