HOW TO PLAY

A game plays over 3 successive chapters that unfold similarly. On your turn, strengthen your Skills, hoard your treasure, stretch your presence across Middle-earth, rally Races to your cause, or advance the Quest of the Ring

Each chapter, players take available cards (not covered by others) from a face-up/down display. They can either:

1. Play the card, paying its cost to gain its benefit, or
   
2. Discard the card to take coins equal to the chapter number

Players can also buy Landmark tiles (from face-up options), placing them in their play area. This lets them place a Fortress pawn on the central board and activate the tile’s effects immediately.

Immediately win the game by fulfilling one of the 3 victory conditions:

If Frodo and Sam reach Mount Doom and destroy the One Ring, or if the Nazgûl catch Frodo and Sam, they seize the One Ring the respective team immediately wins the game!

If you are present in all 7 regions (with a Fortress and/or at least 1 Unit), you dominate Middle-earth and immediately win the game

If you gather 6 differen symbols on your Green cards, you rally the support of the Races of 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
