About the game
What you do in a play session
This expansion transforms the game by introducing iconic characters who were previously only mentioned in event cards. Now, figures like Galadriel, Elrond, Sméagol, and the terrifying Balrog of Moria get their own miniatures and specific rules, completely shifting the strategic dynamics. Additionally, you get alternate versions of characters like Gandalf and the Witch-king, allowing you to customize the match according to the desired challenge level.
For those who love customization, the expansion introduces the optional 'Council of Rivendell' rules, featuring new versions for all members of the Fellowship of the Ring. To top off the immersion, the box includes miniatures of Aragorn and Gandalf the White, which fans have been eagerly awaiting. New special action dice also enter the fray: Elven Ring Keeper dice for the Free Peoples and Lesser Minion dice for the Shadow, adding layers of tactics and new maneuver possibilities on the board. It's the perfect chance to shape the destiny of the Third Age with much more depth and detail.
