$50

Middle Earth Quest takes place approximately ten years after Bilbo Baggins leaves the Shire, and several years before Frodo leaves Bag End on his journey leading to the destruction of the One Ring. Thus, Middle Earth Quest will take place in a time of growing darkness. Players will take control of characters such as a rare adventurous Hobbit, a Gondorian Captain, a Rider from the Westfold, or numerous other character types. Not only will characters be able to experience new adventure in Middle Earth, but we will carefully seek to tie in the experience with the massive amounts of lore and story that takes place around the edges of the central THE LORD OF THE RINGS storyline. Middle-earth Quest is a game of adventure and conflict set in the time leading up to the creation of the Fellowship. One player will adopt the mantle of Sauron and do his best to spread his evil influence across the lands. Up to three players become heroes and will do their best to foil Sauron's foul plots, and rally the peoples of Middle-earth to their side.

Ages 12 and up

War of the Ring features Epic Battles in the land of Middle-Earth. Features 215 plastic figures of Free Peoples and Shadow Armies. The "War of the Ring" is a grand-strategic simulation. While the Fellowship of the Ring advances towards Mordor, the Dark Lord Sauron tries to find the location and purpose of the Ring-bearer, at the same time unleashing his armies against the last strongholds of the Free Peoples. The Free Peoples player must use his characters wisely, as they are needed both to raise and lead the Free People armies and to help the Ring-bearer in his quest. The Dark Lord player must balance his political and military action against the search efforts needed to hunt the Ring-bearer and uncover his true purpose. Both players can win a military victory or a victory based on the final outcome of the hunt for the Ring. Faithful to the books and to the epic flavor of the stories, characters and strongholds play a major role in the flow of play and represent the main focus of the action. A simple and fun dice based "resource management" mechanism is used to determine the various types of action possible for each player. Very original and smooth mechanics have been devised to handle the hidden movement of the Fellowship of the Ring and the Hunt for the Ring. Events from the books and possible alternative events are introduced both indirectly (through the mechanics themselves) and directly with the use of a set of action/event cards which the players can use to "turn the tide" of the events in their favor.

The Confrontation. The time has come for the final confrontation between Good and Evil in Middle Earth. Will the Hobbit Frodo Baggins and his companions bring the Ring to Mount Doom in Mordor? Or will they fall to the forces of the Dark Lord Sauron and lose Middle-Earth to eternal darkness? Only one side can win! The Confrontation is a complete stand-alone game of strategy, bluffing, and adventure for two players. Illustrated by acclaimed Tolkien artist John Howe and designed by master game designer Reiner Knizia, The Confrontation is a cleaver and exciting experience waiting to be explored. Players can either take the role of the hobbits traveling from the Shire all the way to Mordor or, because sometimes being evil is fun, assume the identity of Sauron himself on a mission to stop those pesky hobbits and reclaim the ring. Takes about 30 minutes to play.

In this wonderful interpretation of the novels, the Fellowship must seek to bring Frodo Baggins to Mordor, and the dark lord Sauron must seek to capture Frodo and the One Ring before he reaches Mt. Doom. Each player controls nine characters who each have a unique special ability (the nine characters of the Fellowship of the Ring are controlled by one player, and nine of Sauron's greatest minions are controlled by the opposing player). The game uses a hidden movement system to simulate the search for the ring, and the conflict resolution system is a brilliant cardplay mechanic from a limited resource pool of cards. The dark lord Sauron is stronger and projects more power, but the Fellowship have more devious and surprising maneuvers at hand. The straight-forward gameplay of The Confrontation allows it to be played in about a half hour. Great strategy and fun!

Okay look, we've all seen the movies, many of us have read the books, and plenty of us have already played the incredibly cool board game designed by Reiner Knizia. And while the determined pluck of the hobbits is obviously worthy of admiration, haven't you ever thought there was something kind of cool about Sauron? Sure you might not want to admit it, or maybe you do, but the guy is in at least a partially sympathetic spot. He just wants to rule all of creation and to do that, all he needs to do is pry some jewelry away from a hobbit. With this Sauron expansion set to the original board game, players can get their chance to play the bad guy himself, employ the Black Rider, and rule them all. But beware: with this set, the pesky hobbits have some new weapons of their own. The set includes 30 Sauron cards, nine Nazgul cards, and five Fellowship cards. It's not capable of being played on its own but makes a great counterpart, and counterpoint, to the original.
