Games Workshop Releasing The Lord Of The Rings: Quest to Mount Doom Board Game

 

Games Workshop is going to task players to find the One Ring later this fall, with a new board game The Lord Of The Rings: Quest To Mount Doom.

Players take the role of members of the Fellowship, each with their own unique abilities, hunting for the One Ring hidden somewhere in Middle-earth. The catch is that, while players still want to take the ring to Mount Doom to destroy it, the player who finds it tries to keep it secret, lest someone else finds out about it and steals it. Players use a wide array of time and event cards to find the ring, or stop opponents from finding it. Plus there is the Eye of Sauron to worry about.

 

 

 

The box includes a game board, 9 plastic Fellowship of the Ring Figures, 1 Die, 40 item cards, 35 event cards, 42 Eye of Sauron cards, 9 character cards, an Eye of Sauron, and an instruction book. The game is for 2 – 5 players, ages 8 and up, and plays in 30 – 45 minutes. MSRP was not announced.

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.

Amazon has the game listed for Pre Order with a release date of Oct 31.
