Product number:
AGSWOTR001
Manufacturer:
Ares Games
All about the hills the hosts of Mordor raged. The Captains of the West were foundering in a gathering sea.
The War of the Ring has begun...
The War of the Ring is a grand strategy board game that allows its players to immerse themselves in the world of J.R.R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings and experience its epic action, dramatic conflict, and memorable characters.
As the Free Peoples player you command the proud hosts of the most important kingdoms of the Third Age. From the horse-lords of Rohan to the soldiers of Gondor and the Elven Lords of Rivendell, you lead the defense of the last free realms of Middle-earth.
Face the evil minions of Sauron on the field of battle in a desperate attempt to delay their onslaught, while you lead the Fellowship of the Ring in the Quest for Mount Doom.
As the Shadow player you lead the hordes of the Dark Lord and his most powerful minions as they try to bring darkness to Middle-earth. Legions of Orcs, Trolls, Wolfriders and the dreadful Ringwraiths await your command. Hunt the Ring-bearer and bring the precious Ring to his Master, or crush your enemies with your unstoppable armies.
This is your chance to forge the destiny of an age...

Best Wargame
I've played WOTR several times but never had a copy. I couldn't turn down the price on Miniature Market. Very happy with this purchase.

A out standing game ,I was hooked the first time I played it. And had to have my own copy. Seams to be a very well balanced game. Out of all the games I have played , they have all been close down to the wire games. And no two games will ever play the same.

Rules of the Ring
This is a game that is so thematic by the end of a game you feel like your opponent and yourself have written your own version of Lord of the Rings. That is if you can get through the overwhelming overhead of rules.

Play the books
Theme is dipping out of this game. It is a bit of a time investment….but if you enjoy it, it is worth every second.

It's pretty good
Definitely a must have if you are a LotR fan. The game can take a couple of hours to complete, kinda like marathoning the LotR trilogy.

Love it, but beware
I've been looking forward to this game for a while. Like any other 1v1 game of this size, you absolutely need another person who is willing to keep playing this game consistently to get the most out of it.

Gameplay reflects themes of books excellently.
Excellent asymmetric wargame. The integration with the books' storyline into the gameplay is incredible, and the expansions add a phenomenal what if? element to the game. Always trying to get this one on the table!
