Hobbits of the Fellowship journey through Middle-earth to cast the One Ring into Mount Doom before Sauron’s corruption consumes them.

Gameplay

Work together to play cards for their symbols, advancing along scenario tracks and moving the Fellowship toward Mordor while resolving hazards and gaining allies. The tension is balancing progress against rising corruption, because one badly timed setback can doom the Ring-bearer and end the quest.
