All about the hills the hosts of Mordor raged.
The Captains of the West were foundering in a gathering sea.
The sun gleamed red, and under the wings of the Nazgûl
the shadows of death fell dark upon the earth.

Since its first publication in 2004, War of the Ring has been hailed by Lord of the Rings enthusiasts and hobby gamers alike as standing among the most engaging recreations of J.R.R. Tolkien’s world-renowned fantasy epic. Now, you have a rare opportunity to claim a piece of this beloved saga for yourself; Fantasy Flight Games is proud to announce the upcoming release of War of the Ring: Collector’s Edition!

Only four hundred of these gorgeous limited-edition sets will be available from Fantasy Flight Games before Christmas, with another four hundred being released shortly after. That’s it, and once they’re gone, they aren’t coming back! In Europe, Italian distributor Nexus Games is handling distribution. Customers outside of the USA, Canada, and Italy may order from either FFG or Nexus, whichever is more convenient, but be aware that international orders may take longer to ship.

These individually numbered copies (only 2000 will be released worldwide) of War of the Ring: Collector’s Edition come in an expertly crafted wooden box fashioned to look like an ancient elven tome. Inside, velvet-lined compartments house an 80-page faux-leather bound instruction book, an enlarged and updated game board (featuring new art by John Howe as well as stunning elvish calligraphy), and nearly 250 hand-painted miniatures, including a special Gollum figure previously only available through promotions, and a never-before-seen Nazgul figure!

For more than half a century, Tolkien’s fiction has delighted and enraptured readers. A testament to the beauty and timelessness of his work, War of the Ring: Collector’s Edition is sure to become the centerpiece of any hobby gamer’s, or Tolkien lover’s, collection!

War of the Ring is a board game that puts 2-4 players in command of either the armies of the Free Peoples or the dark host of the Shadow. By mustering troops and deploying them in key regions, both sides hope to claim power and control the fate of Middle-earth.
