About the game
What you do in a play session
The Lord of the Rings Dice Building Game brings the dice-building mechanic to Tolkien's world, where you and your friends take on the roles of Middle-earth's heroes in a cooperative battle against Sauron. The game uses the same system as Quarriors!, but with a fully immersive Lord of the Rings theme. Each player starts with a basic set of dice representing humans, elves, dwarves, and hobbits, and throughout the game can acquire more powerful dice to strengthen their army. The goal is to work together to defeat the forces of evil and, depending on the chosen variant, compete for glory or win as a team. The custom dice feature iconic characters and terrifying creatures, making each game a unique adventure. With simple yet strategic mechanics, it's a great choice for fans of the theme who want a quick and fun experience.
