You see, in the books (and the movies) when the Ring was thrown into Mount Doom, the good guys won. That doesn’t necessarily happen in LotRR. Indeed, the Evil players have just as great a chance of winning as the Good players when the Ring is destroyed, despite the fact that it flies in the face of the entire theme of Tolkien’s work! This is because Fellowship’s path to Mount Doom is purely a time limit – it serves no other function. This is totally unlike the Fellowship’s path in other Middle Earth themed war games, such as War of the Ring, in which the Fellowship’s path is integrated into a total war-against-evil-effort. Here, the Fellowship is added as an afterthought. Again, you are left thinking “Huh?”. The Gold Emblems on the map represent Strongholds.

The owner of that Territory rolls 2 dice, plus 1 more if there’s a Leader piece there. If the total of the dice roll, including bonuses, adds up to 12 or more, then the Ring is “found” and the evil team wins. At last, fans of either franchises can now partake in the epic battles between good and evil depicted in the books and the films. Whether you read the books or watched the movies, you should be able to envision yourself commanding either the combined armies of the free peoples of Middle-earth or the dark forces of Sauron through this game.
