The Lord of the Rings: Duel for Middle-earth (Властелин колец: Битва за Средиземье)

A dark rumour rises from Mordor. The Eye turns to Middle-earth. The hour has come. The Fellowship is reunited. The Heroes prepare for battle. In Duel for Middle-Earth, you'll have to choose sides. Play as the Fellowship of the Ring, prevent the Enemy from gaining ground and destroy the One Ring. Or play as Sauron and send your Nazgûls after Sam and Frodo, spreading your hordes over enemy cities. The fate of Middle-earth is in your hands! The Lord of the Rings: Duel for Middle-Earth is a spin-off of 7 Wonders: Duel, one player playing the evil forces of Sauron and another the free people of middle earth Turn Overview In each chapter players take cards from a display of face-down and face-up cards arranged at the start of a round. A player can take a card only if it's available, that is not partially covered by any other cards. Players can either play the card, paying its cost and placing it in their play area, obtaining its benefit, or discard the card and take as many coins from the reserve as the current chapter. Players can also take a Landmark tile from one of the faceup tiles, paying its cost placing it in their play area. They will be able to immediately place a Fortress pawn on the corresponding region of the central board and benefit from its other effects. Victory Conditions Immediately win the game by fulfilling one of the 3 victory conditions: Quest of the Ring For the Fellowship: If Frodo and Sam reach Mount Doom, they destroy the One Ring and you immediately win the game. For Sauron: If the Nazgûl catch Frodo and Sam, they seize the One Ring and you immediately win the game. Support of the Races If any player gathers 6 different Race symbols on their Green cards, they rally the support of the Races of Middle-earth and immediately win the game Conquering Middle-earth If a player is present in all 7 regions (with a Fortress and/or at least 1 Unit), they dominate Middle-earth and immediately win the game. If none of these three victory conditions are achieved by the end of chapter 3, the player who is present in the most regions of Middle-earth (with a Fortress and/or at least 1 Unit) wins the game. In case of tie, share the victory. Contents: 1 Central Board 1 Track 69 Cards 44 Pawns 18 Tokens 30 Coins 7 Tiles 1 Playe Aid 1 Rulebook
