Initially, the Free People Nations are reluctant to take arms against Sauron, so they must be attacked by Sauron or persuaded by Gandalf or other Companions, before they start to fight properly: this is represented by the Political Track, which shows if a Nation is ready to fight in the War of the Ring or not.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe game can be won by a military victory, if Sauron conquers a certain number of Free People cities or vice versa. But the true hope of the Free Peoples lies with the quest of the Ringbearer: while the armies clash across Middle Earth, the Fellowship of the Ring is trying to get secretly to Mount Doom to destroy the One Ring. Sauron is not aware of the real intention of his enemies but is looking across Middle Earth for the precious Ring, so that the Fellowship is going to face numerous dangers, represented by the rules of The Hunt for the Ring.  The Companions however can spur the Free Peoples to the fight against Sauron, so the Free People player must balance the need to protect the Ringbearer from harm, against the attempt to raise a proper defense against the armies of the Shadow, so that they do not overrun Middle Earth before the Ringbearer completes his quest.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAges 13+\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2-4 players\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e150-180 minutes playing time\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e*Please note that all items within our outlet section contain a level of damage to the packaging, which in no way effects game play.
