In the War of the Ring board game, players control either the Free Peoples (FP) or Shadow Armies (SA). Free People Nations must be attacked by Sauron or persuaded by Companions before joining the fight, tracked through the Political Track system.
Victory can be achieved through military conquest of cities and strongholds, but the Free Peoples' main hope lies in the Fellowship's secret quest to destroy the One Ring at Mount Doom. While Sauron searches for the Ring, represented by Hunt for the Ring rules, the Free People player must balance protecting the Ringbearer whilst defending against Shadow armies.
Gameplay centres on Action Dice rolls, with each die face allowing different actions like moving armies, recruiting troops, or advancing Politics. These dice can also be used to draw and play Event Cards.
Event Cards represent specific story moments or plausible scenarios that normal gameplay cannot capture. Each card can create unexpected turns by enabling special actions or changing battle outcomes.
