Fantasy Flight Games Lord of the Rings Journeys in Middle-Earth Board Game for 1 to 5 Players

Embark on your own adventures in J.R.R. Tolkien’s iconic world with the Fantasy Flight Games: Lord of the Rings: Journeys in Middle-earth, a fully cooperative, app-supported board game for one to five players. You'll battle villainous foes, make courageous choices, and strike a blow against the evil that threatens the land, all as part of a thrilling campaign that leads you across the storied hills and dales of Middle-earth. Each individual game of journeys in Middle-earth is a single adventure in a larger campaign. You'll explore the vast and dynamic landscapes of Middle-earth, using your skills to survive the challenges that you encounter on these perilous quests. As you and your fellow Heroes explore the wilderness and battle the dark forces arrayed against you, the game's companion app guides you to reveal the looming forests, quiet clearings, and ancient halls of Middle-earth, while also controlling the enemies you encounter. Whether you're venturing into the wild on your own or with close companions by your side, you can write your own legend in the history of Middle-earth.
Companion App
A free companion app guides you through each adventure and an entire campaign, freeing you and your companions to stand together as a single Fellowship and battle the darkness. The app fills each adventure with content from a host of possibilities, ensuring a unique experience every time you play and allowing you to leave your own mark on Middle-earth.
Choose Your Hero
Build your own Fellowship from six bold heroes, including Aragorn, Gimli, and Bilbo, and use their unique skills and abilities to overcome challenges and confront Orcs, Goblins, and other vile creatures. Throughout your journeys, you’ll discover lost treasure, uncover forgotten lore, and unite against the shadow and corruption spread across the land. Each hero is characterized by a unique deck of skill cards they use to ward off dangers and make progress in their adventures. Rather than leaving your fate up to the roll of the dice, you must carefully manipulate your deck, choosing which skills to use and which to save for the tests you face. Only by properly managing your skills can you hope to complete your quest. Take on one of six roles with each new adventure to gain experience, hone your skills, and add new cards to your deck. You could become your Fellowship’s Captain, helping the party prepare for any situation. Or you could be a Hunter, attacking enemies for heavy damage. Ultimately, you determine how your character evolves over the course of your adventures.
Vast Map
From Gondor to the Grey Mountains, there’s no telling where your adventures could take you. Many journeys will see you exploring a selection of the game’s 22 journey map tiles where you confront threats and interact with the denizens of Middle-earth. Certain adventures, however, bring you to the battle map tiles for a more tactical experience. Whether you’re attacking an Orcish encampment or exploring the ruined remains of a great hall, you’ll draw upon all your skills to complete these missions. During your travels, you’ll be brought face-to-face with marauding Orcs, towering Trolls, and darker enemies, all brought to life with the game’s 25 stunning enemy miniatures. The companion app also gives each of these enemies their own unique behavior, so as they hunt and attack, you’ll need to adapt your strategies to counter the monsters that you face. With so much ground to cover and multiple side quests to unlock, every campaign will tell your own tale of adventure and heroism and, no matter what path you take, your adventures will culminate in a climactic finale where the fate of all the peoples of Middle-earth could be at stake. Gather your friends, pack your bags, and find your fortunes in Middle-earth.
