As members of the Fellowship and the allies who rise to aid them, you must embark on a perilous journey that will either save or doom Middle-earth. Each player controls 2 characters, and all must work together to lend their unique abilities to protect Frodo, evade the searching Eye of Sauron and his menacing Nazgûl in pursuit, and defeat enemy troops as they invade key locations. Finally, Frodo must cast The One Ring into the fires of Mount Doom to save the Free Peoples from despair and destruction.
