The Lord of the Rings franchise has a new board game, Foes of Middle-earth, on the way from D20 Culture, and the title’s funding target on Kickstarter was reached in only 10 minutes. Foes of Middle-earth is also tearing through the project’s stretch goals while giving fans a chance to revisit the vision of J.R.R. Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings as seen in the movies.
Foes of Middle-earth is fully licensed by Warner Bros. Discovery to utilize the Lord of the Rings characters like Frodo, Aragorn, Legolas, and Gimli as they embark on a dungeon-crawler adventure that unfolds in three phases: exploration, mini-boss challenges, and a final boss battle.
The game features a “handcrafted dual-layered” board, as well as miniature figures featuring the game’s heroes, creatures, and a Balrog. There are also 200 cards included with the game that unleash additional dangers, skills, and quests.
That’s fantastic news! It’s always exciting to see a beloved franchise like Lord of the Rings expand into new formats. Congratulations to D20 Cult on the successful funding!
