This two-player strategy game immerses players in the Lord of the Rings universe, offering a choice between leading the Fellowship to destroy the One Ring or commanding Sauron's forces to conquer Middle-earth. The gameplay unfolds across three chapters, using cards and High Places to build influence, gather allies, and advance objectives. Players can win through three distinct paths: completing the Ring quest, forging alliances with six Peoples, or achieving military dominance. The game adapts the core mechanics of 7 Wonders Duel while incorporating Tolkien's lore, creating a strategic experience with accessible rules yet meaningful depth. Designed specifically for head-to-head play, it accommodates both newcomers and experienced players.
