| First published in 2000, The Lord of the Rings: The Board Game has been a seminal classic and an iconic tabletop retelling of J.R.R. Tolkien’s trilogy, created by world renowned game designer, Reiner Knizia, and brought to life with the stunning artwork of John Howe. Twenty years later, the game returns to print in a brand-new anniversary edition—a faithful recreation that now includes beautifully sculpted plastic miniatures for the Hobbits, Sauron, the threat die, and the One Ring. Newly Sculpted Miniatures in the Anniversary Edition The Hobbits setting out on their journey are shaped with careful attention to detail, from their hairy feet to the top of their sturdy walking stick. The Sauron token has now been replaced with a menacing Black Rider figure, racing forward at a dead gallop and representing the constantly growing threat of corruption. The threat die now represents Sauron’s power in a menacing black. And finally, the One Ring is now a beautiful miniature, graven with Elvish script and perfectly sized to fit over the Ring-bearer’s miniature when they choose to use the One Ring. Over the course of the game, you’ll have to make your way across four conflict game boards, representing some of the most memorable conflicts from the entire trilogy—Moria, Helm’s Deep, Shelob’s Lair, and Mordor. Every conflict board will test your small Fellowship to the utmost as you must play your quest cards to advance along multiple tracks. These tracks represent fighting, hiding, traveling, and friendship, and by playing quest cards from your hand with matching symbols, you’ll be able to keep moving forward and push closer to victory. If you’re able to quickly slip past your foes, you can hope to escape with minimal corruption, healing your hurts at safe havens along your path, such as the forest kingdom of Lothlórien. By playing your cards right and advancing quickly you can collect powerful runes, unlock legendary cards to aid your journey, or find life tokens to help stave off corruption—not to mention advancing quickly through the conflicts. As you travel, the One Ring can be a crucial tool in your journey, allowing you to hide from sight, but repeated use will draw the attention of Sauron and corrupt the heart of the Ring-bearer. Your journey leads you deeper into the darkness with each passing conflict, and safe havens become few and far between. You’ll launch from one conflict into the next with little opportunity for respite. All the while, you must carefully watch the corruption track, because if the Sauron miniature ever meets a Hobbit, that player is eliminated—and if the Ring-bearer is eliminated, all players lose as Sauron reclaims the power of the One Ring. *Please note that all items within our outlet section contain a level of damage to the packaging, which in no way effects game play.
