This first printing also includes a bonus scenario for the War of the Ring boardgame, The Fate of Erebor.

The Battle of Five Armies is a two-players game that allows you to re-create the epic conclusion of The Hobbit, the world-renowned masterpiece by J.R.R. Tolkien. The Shadow player commands the armies of Bolg, the King of the Goblins of Mount Gundabad, while the Free Peoples player is in control of Men, Dwarves, and Elves, led by Gandalf to fend off the goblin army.

Based on the acclaimed mechanics first used in the War of the Ring boardgame, The Battle of Five Armies merges action dice and event cards, to make each game a unique experience. The system has been further enhanced by the addition of the “Fate Track” mechanic, handling the arrival of the allies and the triggering of special events. The Battle of Five Armies includes 126 plastic figures, with all the main characters of the battle, and many more top-quality components.

What if the Battle of Five Armies was lost by the Free Peoples? The Fate of Erebor is a variant for War of the Ring which you can play to answer this question. The course of history changes drastically and you will play the game with a different setup. A real challenge and a must-have for all War of the Ring fans!

Hunt For The Ring Coming This Summer From Ares Games

 

This summer Ares Games brings  The Hunt for the Ring , a new board game inspired by the work of JRR Tolkien developed by the makers of the game The War of the Ring.

 

 

Hunt for the Ring is a hidden movement, deduction and adventure game, for 2 to 5 players, that recreates the initial chapters of “The Lord of the Rings”.  A player must take Frodo, the Ring Bearer, and his hobbits friends from his home in the Shire to the shrine of Rivendell, where the fate of the One Ring will be decided. Using the secret and the help of powerful allies, the Ring Bearer must escape the Nazgûl chase, the terrible Ringwraiths, controlled by up to four other players.

 

 

Players, who handle the Ringwraiths and may have also tried games such as 원엑스벳, will work together to find Frodo and retrieve the Ring for the Dark Lord, while the Ring Bearer continues his way in secret: first from the Shire to Bree, then Bree to Rivendel, in a Double-sided game board.

Hunt for the Ring is designed by Francesco Nepitello and Marco Maggi, co-designers of the award-winning “War of the Ring” board game, and Gabriele Mari, designer of “Letters of Whitechapel”, “Mister X” and “Garibaldi”. The game features cover and character art by John Howe, seven highly–detail miniatures sculpted by Bob Naismith, and a beautiful game board by Francesco Mattioli. Due to release in August 2017.

Gen Con 2017 atendees will be able to see and play the game in the Ares game booth.
