What if the Keepers of the Elven Rings had utilized their Rings of Power to challenge the might of the Dark Lord? What if the Balrog had risen out of Moria to bring fury and fireto the lands of the Free Peoples? What if the Council of Elrond had chosen differently regarding the Fellowship of the Ring?

With Lords of Middle-earth, the first expansion for the War of the Ring (second edition) board game, players can explore these possibilities together with many other ones to create fresh gaming opportunities and new strategies.

New Characters include Galadriel, Elrond, Sméagol, Gothmog, and the powerful Balrog of Moria, as well as alternate versions of Gandalf, the Witch-king, and the Mouth of Sauron.
