Der Hobbit: Die Schlacht der Fünf Heere

 

The second epos in the War of the Ring series, this time based on The Hobbit. One player commands the forces of The Shadow, the other the Free People. Mechanisms are similar to those in War of the Ring; using the action dice system players alternate to choose one of the previously rolled dice and implement it - for movement, attack, recruiting troops, using characters, etc. Story and Event cards can be played for events or actions. Fate is a central element, the Fate track yields unexpected events, its timing can be influenced by players; Fate cards have influence on players.
