Players: 2-4 | Time: 60 mins | Ages: 14+

In Circle of Conflict you simultaneously command both The Shadow and The Free Peoples armies against the players on either side of you. As the dice are rolled, you will decide how to apply the results.

It is the Third Age of Middle-earth and a great war between the many nations is unfolding.

Will you recruit iconic characters for The Free Peoples or perhaps muster the troops of Mordor to fight for Shadow in one of two pivotal battles? Will you hunt your opponent’s Fellowship with your Nazgûl or secretly move your Fellowship to evade Sauron’s watchful Eye?

To win as the Free Peoples, be the first player to get The Fellowship to reach Mount Doom and defeat Shadow in Battle. As the Shadow, be the first player to fully corrupt the Fellowship and defeat them in Battle.
