The player that defeated them receive the defeated player's territory cards, if any. The victor is the last player remaining when all other players have been eliminated. I have been wanting this game for about the last 5 years after the wife and I borrowed one and had an epic battle. On the BGG forum I saw it has been RE released. I have not saw this advertised anywhere. The game ends when the One Ring leaves the Dead Marshes or when a player takes control of all territories in Middle-earth.

Each player will start with a number of battalions. 2 players start with 60; 3 players start with 52 and 4 players start with 45. (Note: rules on 2-player game may be referred to in the rulebook and are not included here). Smaller figures represent 1 battalion, mounted figures represent 3 and large figures represent 5. Put these figures in front of you. Also, take your 2 leaders (shield figures) and keep them in front of you. Once all the territories are occupied by a battalion, each player can place another battalion on the territories they already occupy. If the Territory card you exchange corresponds to a territory you already control, you get 2 additional battalions. Guide your forces to victory in the ultimate battle! The Risk: The Lord of the Rings Trilogy Edition board game features content from the entire The Lord of the Rings film trilogy. The game includes Territory cards, Adventure cards, Battalions, and a gold tone ring. The gameboard features a complete map of Middle-earth including Gondor, Mordor, and Haradwaith Territories.

It makes a great holiday gift or birthday gift for kids ages 10 and up.These are best used with the purple dice from Battlelore 2nd edition board game by Fantasy Flight, so the dice results would be: Each Adventure card contains either a mission that can be completed with a Leader piece, a special bonus for your troops, or special events that can be triggered by certain conditions.

Points for each region that is completely control. Points are equal to the battalion bonus of each region. Additionally, LotRR divides the players up into ‘Good’ players and ‘Evil’ players. In a 2 or 4 player game, half of the players are ‘Good’ and the other half are ‘Evil’. In a 3 player game, 2 of them are ‘Evil’ and 1 is ‘Good’. There are different miniatures for Good and Evil, but aside from that, ‘Good’ and ‘Evil’ have little effect in the actual game. The primary effect is in the division of starting territories. Unlike in regular Risk, where territories are either totally random or are selected in turn, in LotRR certain territories are, from the start of the game, designated as either ‘Good’ or ‘Evil’. The Good players get the Good territories and the Evil players get the Evil territories. This is an attempt to give the game at least a passing resemblance to the world of Middle Earth. But after that, the label ceases to have any effect. Good players can fight with each other, Evil players can cooperate with Good players, etc. The whole Good/Evil distinction leaves you with a “Huh?” feeling.

Love Letter is one of the most popular micro-games ever made. This huge series of tiny games has gone on to spawn several expansions, themed versions, spinoffs, and more. When the film The Hobbit: The Battle of Five Armies was released, a version of Love Letter was made to coincide with the film.

Risk Legacy. There are five factions, each with different pieces and rules. This game is the actual originator of the term Legacy game, [28] which means that rules/mechanics are added and changed, previous games permanently affect all future games, and cards are permanently modified and destroyed. Games magazine included Risk in their "Top 100 Games of 1980", praising it as "a classic" as established by its "attractive playing equipment, seesawing battles, and limitless opportunities for changing rules and making up new variations of the game". [49] If you control an entire region (that is, you control all the territories within one region) you get bonus battalions. A chart on the gameboard shows how many bonus battalions you get for controlling regions. Add these battalions to your pile of reinforcements.

You also can get reinforcements by turning in Territory cards. If you have collected at least three cards that show all different symbols or all of the same symbol, you can turn in these cards for bonus reinforcements. Note that the number of reinforcements you receive depends on the type of symbols that shows on your three cards. 3 Elven archers = 4 battalions; 3 Dark Riders = 6; 3 Eagles = 8; one of each symbol = 10. Wild cards can be used as any type of card. If you have 5 or more cards at the beginning of your turn, you must turn in a set. When I received the box, it was a bit worn out on the corners. Most of them were split open and the previous owner did not do a great job fixing it. So I would need to fix it using some research to make it look better quality. If you can buy it new, I would highly suggest it. When the Fellowship reaches Mount Doom, one die must be thrown. On a roll of 3 or higher, the Ring is destroyed. Otherwise, at the end of the next player's turn, they must again attempt to destroy the Ring by rolling the die as before. Once the Ring is destroyed, the game ends and scoring takes place.
