Ares Games Lord of the Rings: War of the Ring The Battle of Five Armies
Step into the heart of Middle-earth's most climactic battle with the "Battle of Five Armies" board game, where the fate of Erebor hangs in the balance. As the echoes of Smaug's fiery demise still resonate, the Free Peoples muster their forces - Elves, Dwarves, and Men - forging an uneasy alliance to protect the Lonely Mountain and its coveted treasure from the relentless hordes of the Shadow Armies. In this two-player game, one commands the legions of Bolg, son of Azog, while the other marshals the valiant defenders, led by Gandalf. As the Shadow player, unleash the might of Goblin legions from Mount Gundabad, while the Free Peoples player orchestrates the defense, channeling the heroism of key figures like Bilbo, Thorin, and Bard. Drawing inspiration from the acclaimed mechanics of the War of the Ring board game, "Battle of Five Armies" intertwines action dice and event cards, ensuring each playthrough unfolds as a unique saga. The addition of the "Fate Track" mechanic introduces the ebb and flow of reinforcements and pivotal events, mirroring the tumultuous tides of battle. With 125 intricately sculpted figures and an array of high-quality components, immerse yourself in the epic struggle for Erebor in a game designed for ages 13 and above, promising 90 minutes of strategic gameplay that captures the essence of Tolkien's timeless masterpiece. Will you tip the scales in favor of the Free Peoples, or will darkness descend upon the Lonely Mountain? The choice is yours in the "Battle of Five Armies" board game.
