Kings of Middle-earth, is an expansion for War of the Ring 2nd Edition, and introduces Sovereigns and Dark Chieftains. These two new types of characters represent important personalities of Middle-earth with a vital role in the War of the Ring. This is not a complete game, and requires a copy of War of the Ring 2nd Edition to play. For centuries, Sauron sought to exert his influence over the rulers of Middle-earth, while Gandalf worked tirelessly to revive hope and stir resistance against the Shadow. Now, you can decide the outcome of this struggle for the hearts and minds of Middle-earth's rulers... The new rules, miniatures, cards, and Action dice included in this expansion will allow the players to fully develop this conflict and represent the role of these new characters in your WAR OF THE RING game. This expansion also adds three new Characters, the Dark Chieftains, to the Shadow hosts. Unlike the Ringwraiths, who were fully controlled by the Rings of Power, these powerful leaders of the Shadow Armies had distinct personalities, but ultimately all were subject to the commands of Sauron or Saruman. One Dark Chieftain is included for each of the three Shadow Nations - the Black Serpent, the Shadow of Mirkwood, and Uglúk. You can add KINGS OF MIDDLE–EARTH directly to WAR OF THE RING, or combine it together with Lords of Middle–Earth and Warriors of Middle–Earth to give an unprecedented depth to the game and discover new, surprising strategies., Manufacturer: Ares Games
