La Guerre de l'Anneau (FR)

*French version

La Guerre de l'Anneau (FR) drops you into the heart of Middle-earth, as the shadow of Sauron spreads over the last free realms. On one side, you command the Free Peoples: the riders of Rohan, the soldiers of Gondor and the Elven lords of Rivendell, united in a final effort to hold back the invasion. On the other, you can lead the legions of Mordor, unleashing Orcs, Trolls and the dreadful Ringwraiths against the West. While the armies clash, the Fellowship of the Ring slips secretly toward Mount Doom to destroy the One Ring.

Every turn revolves around the action dice, which set what you can do: move your armies, recruit troops, push your nations toward war or play powerful Event cards drawn straight from Tolkien's story. This strategy game blends military tension with the breathless race of the Ring-bearer, hunted at every step by the Hunt for the Ring. You can aim for a military victory by conquering enemy cities, or bet everything on the quest: destroy the Ring before darkness prevails.

La Guerre de l'Anneau is for you if you dream of reliving the Lord of the Rings epic on a grand scale, if you love deep strategy games where every decision carries weight, and if you want an epic duel to savour over a full evening. It also shines with four players, forming two teams that split the Free Peoples and the Shadow.

Praised as one of the highest-rated strategy games on BoardGameGeek, La Guerre de l'Anneau owes its reputation to the depth of its battles and the faithfulness of its world. The box is a statement in itself: a giant two-section board and more than 200 figures bring Middle-earth to life on your table. To extend the adventure, the Guerriers de la Terre du Milieu expansion adds new units and new tactical options for both sides.

The game is designed by Francesco Nepitello, Marco Maggi and Roberto Di Meglio, a trio known for their games set in Tolkien's world, including the La Guerre de l'Anneau card game.
