Frodo's quest to carry the One Ring through trouble and turmoil into the fiery pits at the heart of Mount Doom is undoubtedly one of the most iconic journeys in fantasy, forming the backbone of one of the most thrilling fantasy sagas ever - J.R.R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings. Along the way, the Fellowship was plagued by danger. Orcs ambushed them, wild beasts tracked their movements, and always surrounding them was the ever-present threat of the hunting Nazgul. Their journey took months, but now you can experience the thrill of the Fellowship's desperate race in a fraction of the time with The Lord of the Rings: Journey to Mordor!
As a fast-paced, push-your-luck dice game, Journey to Mordor encapsulates the frantic panic and stouthearted perseverance that characterized every step of the Fellowship's adventure, putting you and each of your friends in the roles of one of the four Hobbits in the Fellowship: Frodo, Sam, Merry, or Pippin. Together, you must travel along the route of the Fellowship, from Bag End and Rivendell, through the deadly mines of Moria, and finally ascending through Shelob's Lair to reach Mordor and the Mountain of Fire itself.
Every turn, you'll need to press your luck, battling Orcs and staying one step ahead of the Nazgul that pursue you. The player who makes it to Mount Doom first and destroys the One Ring is the winner. But, beware! If the Nazgul make it to Mordor before you, you'll be eliminated, and the fate of Middle-earth will rest on your companions. With skill and luck, you may triumph and destroy the One Ring at Mount Doom, but if you fail, all of Middle-earth will be consumed in darkness!
