Cold be hand and heart and bone,
Cold be sleep beneath a stone:
Never more to wake upon a stony bed,
Till the Sun fails and the Moon is dead.
In the black wind the stars shall die,
And still upon gold let them lie,
Till the Dark Lord lifts his hand
Over dead sea and withered land.

War of the Ring is a strategic board game that allows players to immerse themselves in the world of Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings and experience epic battles, dramatic conflicts, and unforgettable characters...
From the Riders of Rohan and the warriors of Gondor to the Elves of Rivendell, you will lead the defense of the last free realms of Middle-earth. You will face the servants of Sauron on the battlefield in a desperate bid to delay their assault, all while guiding the Fellowship of the Ring on its quest toward Mount Doom.
On the other side, an opponent will take on the role of leading the Dark Lord's hordes and his most powerful minions as they attempt to bring darkness to Middle-earth. Hordes of Orcs and Trolls await his command. Hunt the Ring-bearer to bring the One Ring to your Master, or crush the enemy with your unstoppable armies.
This is your chance to forge the destiny of an age...
