The great strongholds of the Free Peoples are the stage for some of the most desperate confrontations of the War of the Ring. Sieges of Middle-earth, the new expansion for War of the Ring Second Edition, focuses on the epic clashes described in Tolkien’s The Lord of the Rings, bringing the struggle for citadels such as Helm’s Deep and Minas Tirith to the forefront and adding new tactical and narrative possibilities to the game.
The Shadow player can deploy powerful siege engines to break through defenses and spread despair among the defenders. Two types of siege engines are introduced, each with its own special rules: Siege towers, which sustain the assault beyond the limits of ordinary manpower, and Catapults, which batter fortifications and weaken the besieged strongholds.
Facing this relentless pressure, the Free Peoples player can rely on new opportunities to resist and turn the course of the battle through daring Heroic Feats, bold sorties, and desperate last stands. The expansion also introduces Fellowship tokens, a new resource available to the Free Peoples that, once used, are transformed into Palantír tokens, giving the Shadow player an additional resource to exploit.
New plastic figures, special dice, tokens, and cards further enrich the game, expanding strategic options while reinforcing the storytelling experience that makes War of the Ring unique.
