The Lord of the Rings: The Battle for Middle-earth is a 2004 real-time strategy video game. In fact, EA Los Angeles developed for Microsoft Windows. The first part of the Middle-earth strategy game is based on Peter Jackson’s The Lord of the Rings film trilogy. In turn based on J. R. R. Tolkien’s original novel.
In the game, a dark rumour rises from Mordor. The Eye turns to Middle earth. The hour has come. The Fellowship is reunited. The Heroes prepare for battle.
In each chapter in The Lord of the Rings: Duel for Middle-earth, players take cards from a display of face-down and face-up cards arranged at the start of a round. A player can take a card only if it’s available, that is not partially covered by any other cards. Moreover, players can either play the card, paying its cost, and placing it in their play area. They can obtain its benefit or discard the card and take as many coins from the reserve as the current chapter.
Players can also take a Landmark tile from one of the faceup tiles, paying its cost placing it in their play area. They will be able to immediately place a Fortress pawn on the corresponding region of the central board. As well as benefit from its other effects.
