Ares Games Expand the War of the Ring
February 10, 2012 by brennon
Ares Games took over the control of the largely successful game War of the Ring towards the end of last year and re-released the game in December. Now they are working on an expansion for the board game, Lords of Middle Earth.
The expansion adds a number of new elements to the board game. Cards, Miniatures and new action dice are added to the game including special ones for the characters joining the original cast. Galadriel, Smeagol and The Balrog are amongst the new additions.
This truly is the year of Middle Earth.

I didn’t know that War of the Ring is in new hands. Hope they do the franchise justice.
Ares of WoW/WofG fame…they wrote the game originally I think and have just rebranded themselves as far as Im aware
I hear its a cracking board game
Yep the game is a masterpiece and very fun to play. Very epic too. The collectors edition of it is just amazing as well, such beautiful pieces.
It will put a hole in your wallet though.

Very good game, the expansion really adds another dimension as well. Can play out like the story or you can pull off amazing turn arounds if you have some luck – winning by seizing isengaurd and the black gate in one turn was my personal favourite.
