	Description Edit \| History

The first of the German Lord of the Rings movie tie-in games. Small-box cardgame covering the Fellowship of the Ring, although fairly abstract. Rules complexity is very modest. A little bit of German on the cards and chits, a triviality for the hardened Spieler, but some sort of cheat sheet may be required.

This is a rethemed version of King's Gate.
