The Lord of the Rings: Duel for Middle-Earth is an epic two-player showdown that pits the Fellowship of the Ring against the dark forces of Sauron in a strategic battle for destiny. One player guides Frodo, Sam, and their allies to destroy the One Ring, while the other marshals the Nazgûl, armies, and siege to dominate Middle-Earth.

Gameplay unfolds across three dramatic chapters inspired by The Fellowship of the Ring, The Two Towers, and The Return of the King. Players build their power through card drafting, expanding influence, securing alliances, and moving the Quest for the Ring track. Victory can come in any one of three ways:

• Quest of the Ring — reach Mount Doom (or let the Nazgûl catch Frodo & Sam) 

• Alliance of the Peoples — gather support from six different free peoples 

• Conquest of Middle-Earth — control all seven key regions on the map 

With gorgeous artwork by Vincent Dutrait, thematic touches, and a dynamic mix of tactics and narrative weight, Duel for Middle-Earth blends accessible rules with satisfying depth. Perfect for fans of Lord of the Rings and gamers who enjoy tense two-player battles
