The Lord of the Rings: Journeys in Middle-earth Board Game Coming From Fantasy Flight Games

Shadows creep through the lands of Middle-earth, as whispers of new evils in Mirkwood and Mordor spread among the Free Peoples of Elves, Dwarves, and Men. As the shadow rises with festering evil and corruption, new heroes are needed to protect Middle-earth.

Fantasy Flight Games has announced a new cooperative campaign game based set in the fantasy world of Lord of the Rings. For more mind-boggling games like this, you can check out sites such as tridewa.

The Lord of the Rings: Journeys in Middle-earth, a fully cooperative app-supported board game that blends exploration and combat for one to five players. Over the course of the game, a Fellowship of heroes will explore the wilds of Middle-earth in a 14 chapter campaign. A smartphone/tablet app serves as a Dungeon Master, controlling the monsters and guiding the narrative along at key intervals.

This might sound familiar to a lot of you as other Fantasy Flight games like Descent, Star Wars: Imperial Assault, and Mansions of Madness, do just This, but there is a spin on with this new Lord Of The Rings Games, Play is split between two boards – an expansive “Journey Map” that players gradually explore and a battle map, a small board that contains terrain and represents specific encounters. A player could discover an Orcish encampment on the journey map that requires switch over to a battle map to resolve, or they might end up not using a battle map at all during the encounter.

Another thing that’s a bit different is there are no skill dice, for your skill checks, Journeys in Middle-earth relies on a skill deck. Whenever a player makes a skill check to overcome some sort of obstacle, they draw cards from their skill deck equal to one of their character’s five stats. Players can also use cards from their skill deck to boost certain abilities but at the cost of removing them from their deck. Over the course of the campaign, players will build their skill deck, swap out cards, or replace cards depending on what role they take during a specific adventure.

All we know so far is that Bilbo Baggins and Gimli will be playable characters.

You can glean your conclusions by looking at some of the other minis

A specific release date has not been announced, but the game will come out sometime in the second quarter of 2019. Lord of the Rings: Journey in Middle-earth will cost $100.
