Overview

Game description from the publisher: Dice-building comes to Middle-earth! In The Lord of the Rings Dice Building Game, which uses the dice-building game engine from Quarriors, players lead an army of brave men, wise elves, battle-hardened dwarves, and even the short-statured but stout-hearted hobbits – represented by custom dice – to stand between Sauron and his armies of orcs, goblins, trolls and ringwraiths as they scour the land to find The One Ring. Gain glory for your people as you work together to defeat Sauron and save Middle-earth! The player with the most glory points wins unless playing the full coop variant where players win or lose as a team.
