Lord of the Rings: The Search
Players take the roles of two hobbits traveling toward Mt. Doom to destroy the Ring. The map unfolds as the game progresses while the hobbits search for the mountain, encountering allies and enemies along the way. Encounters can help (wizards, allies, Ents) or hinder (Orcs, Trolls), and players resolve those events using encounter chips. The game ends when one hobbit reaches Mt. Doom; encounter chips are then tallied and the highest score wins.
