About this game

Relive the adventure of The Fellowship of the Ring with this board game. The fate of Middle-earth is in your hands, as you become the force behind the Fellowship of the Ring, guiding Frodo Baggins and his heroic companions on the first part of their epic journey. With majestic images and scenes taken directly from the film, life-long followers and first-time fans of The Lord of the Rings will find the game uniquely challenging, yet easy to play, as this saga of good against evil unfolds. The game is presented in a box that measures approximately 10 1/2 by 10 1/2 by 2 1/2 inches, and contains a die, 14 unique interlocking game tiles, 74 ring cards, 12 character cards, 6 metallic rings, and more. Can be played as stand alone or in combination with ‘The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers Board Game’ and ‘The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King’ This may be the same game as The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring Board Game.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 6.
• Rules load. At 1.4/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 8 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
