The Lord of the Rings: The Journey to Middle-earth

The fate of Middle-earth is in your hands!
Command the Fellowship of the Ring to defend the free races and destroy the One Ring, or play as Sauron in pursuit of Frodo and Sam, sending his hordes to the gates of enemy cities. The Lord of the Rings: The Battle for Middle-earth is a unique strategy game based on the rules of the popular 7 Wonders duel. Develop strategies and lead your forces into battle, but be careful. In this epic duel, three paths lead to immediate victory: you can unite with the six races, complete the quest of the ring, or declare your presence in all regions of Middle-earth.

What is this about?
The game consists of three consecutive sections that proceed in a similar manner. At the very beginning, the cards for a given section are dealt in a certain order, some of them face up and some face down. Players then take turns playing until one of them draws the last card or meets one of the end conditions of the game.

In turn, we can do one of two things:

• We take a department card from the available (uncovered) cards in the layout. We can then pay its potential cost, play it and use its effect, or discard the card to gain coins.
• Take a tile of an important location. After paying its price, we place the fortress on the main board in the region corresponding to the purchased tile and use its effects.

Depending on the suit, the cards provide different bonuses. Gray ones represent skills that are paid for in cards and tiles, yellow ones represent coins, blue ones allow you to move around the Ring Quest track where you race against your opponent, green ones allow you to form alliances with the races of Middle-earth, and red ones allow you to deploy units. The final section also features special purple cards with powerful effects.

A player wins immediately when he fulfills one of the victory conditions:

• He will complete the task of the ring (Sauron must catch up with Frodo and Sam, who in turn are trying to reach the volcano).
• He will join forces with the six races of Middle-earth, collecting them green cards.
• He will conquer Middle-earth, which means he will be in each of the seven regions (due to a stronghold or at least one unit).

If no player fulfills any of the victory conditions by the end of the third chapter, the player with the most regions of Middle-earth wins.

Why will you like this game?

• JRR Tolkien's world of good versus evil is one of the most recognizable fantasy stories. It has captured the imagination of readers and other cultural consumers for years, making it a particularly appealing theme for a board game about the struggle between opposing forces.
• Based on the rules of 7 Wonders of the World: Duel, the game offers improved two-player game mechanics, thanks to which we perfectly control the actions of our opponent. It is an immersive, strategic game, where every decision we make is important for the final outcome.
• Duel for Middle-earth introduces brand new mechanics that will be an exciting challenge for even veterans of the two-player "7 Wonders". Instead of pushing on a military track, we are dealing with a race, and a special board with a map takes the competition to a whole new level.
