An Epic Duel for the Fate of Middle-earth
In The Lord of the Rings - Duel for Middle-earth, two players face off to determine the fate of Middle-earth. One player embodies the Fellowship of the Ring, seeking to protect the free peoples and destroy the One Ring, while the other plays as Sauron, attempting to capture Frodo and Sam and overwhelm Middle-earth with his evil hordes. The game allows players to experience the saga through its three chapters, each corresponding to a book (The Fellowship of the Ring, The Two Towers, and The Return of the King).
Trailer
“We wouldn’t have just slapped a new theme on 7 Wonders Duel”. “After the two expansions, we felt there was nothing more to add to the game.” “Then Tanguy from Repos Production called us to say there was a possibility to work on The Lord of the Rings”. “And that inspired us because it made sense. We thought about game mechanics that would bring this story to life.”
Colorful Depictions
To illustrate the adventure, a unique brush was needed. Vincent Dutrait (HEAT, Jaipur, Oltrée...) jumped into the battle. His paintings immerse players in Tolkien's rich and detailed universe, making each game visually captivating.
