The Lord of the Rings: Circle of Conflict
Command the characters and armies of both The Shadow and The Free Peoples against other players. Your Free Peoples fight the Shadow of the opponent to your left, while your Shadow faces the Free Peoples of the opponent to your right. Roll dice and decide how to use the results: recruit iconic characters, muster troops for pivotal battles, hunt an opposing Fellowship with the Nazgûl, or move your Fellowship to evade Sauron’s Eye. The Free Peoples seek to reach Mount Doom or defeat the Shadow, while The Shadow aims to corrupt the Fellowship or defeat it in battle. Victory points determine the winner.
