Based on the game system of 7 Wonders Duel; To win, players need the support of the 6 peoples of Middle-earth, must fulfill the destiny of the One Ring, or be present in all 7 areas of Middle-earth; A game by Antoine Bauza and Bruno Cathala with illustrations by Vincent Dutrait; Material design supports color blindness.

A dark rumor comes from Mordor. The Eye turns to Middle-earth. The hour has come. The Fellowship is reunited. The heroes prepare for battle. Will you, as the Fellowship of the Ring, defend the free peoples and destroy the One Ring? Or will you play as Sauron and pursue Frodo and Sam, while bringing your hordes to the gates of enemy cities? The fate of Middle-earth is in your hands! A game plays out over 3 consecutive chapters, developing similarly. Strengthen your abilities, hoard your treasure, expand your presence across Middle-earth, rally peoples to your cause, or advance the quest for the Ring.

Turn Overview:

In each chapter, players draw cards from a display of open and face-down cards arranged at the start of a round. A player can only take a card if it is available, meaning it is not partially covered by other cards. Players can either play the card, pay its cost, place it in their playing area and gain its benefit, or discard the card and take as many coins from the reserve as the current chapter. Players can also take a Landmark tile from one of the revealed tiles and pay its cost by placing it in their playing area. They will be able to immediately place a fortress pioneer on the corresponding region of the central board and benefit from its other effects.

Win the game immediately by fulfilling one of the 3 victory conditions:

The Quest for the Ring:

If Frodo and Sam reach Mount Doom, they destroy the One Ring and you immediately win the game.

For Sauron: if the Nazgûl catch Frodo and Sam, they capture the One Ring and you immediately win the game.

Support of the Peoples:

If a player collects 6 different people symbols on their Green Cards, they gain the support of the peoples of Middle-earth and immediately win the game.

The Conquest of Middle-earth:

If a player is present in all 7 regions (with a fortress and/or at least one unit), they dominate Middle-earth and immediately win the game. If none of these three victory conditions are met by the end of Chapter 3, the player who is present in the most regions of Middle-earth (with a fortress and/or at least one unit) wins the game. In case of a tie, divide the victory.
