How to play The Lord of the Rings

Players work together as hobbits, using cards, dice and collected sets to push the group toward destroying the One Ring while making the most of their different abilities. It feels like a cooperative race against mounting trouble, with shared planning and some luck in the dice. It suits 2 to 5 players who want a fantasy-themed team game; it plays in 60 to 90 minutes and is for ages 12 and up.
