Sauron threatens to push Middle-earth into eternal darkness in his desire for the One Ring. All hope lies on Frodo Baggins and his friends from the Shire. Your task: Bring the One Ring to Mordor, then destroy it in Mount Doom. With each roll of the dice Der Herr der Ringe: Die Reise nach Mordor, players make decisions and try to move their hobbits as quickly as possible to get to Mount Doom. They're supported by Gandalf and the community, but also potentially blocked by orcs and persecuted by Ringwraiths. Players must be bold enough to choose the right dice symbols and shake off the Nazgul.
