One of the most hotly-anticipated games of this Summer is Fantasy Flight Games’ latest foray into the world of J.R.R. Tolkien’s The Lord of the Rings epic, Middle-earth Quest.
Set in the long period between Bilbo’s departure from the Shire and Frodo’s quest to destroy the One Ring in Mount Doom, Middle-earth Quest puts players in the role of heroes allied with Gandalf the Grey, united to hold back the forces of darkness. One player will take on the role of Sauron and control the minions of evil to bring about his dominion of Middle-earth. Time is running out and the evil is growing stronger, but the few who stand against the rising tide will take their place among the greatest heroes of the Third Age.
