This week, the publishing house D20 Culture launched a campaign for the Lord of the Rings: Foes of Middle-earth board game, designed for 1–4 players, on the Kickstarter crowdfunding platform.
The team needed only 10 minutes to fulfill the main goal of this event — to raise $50,000 (3,872,143 rubles). With 28 days left in the campaign, the developers already have $375,443 (29,075,383 rubles) in their coffers.
Thanks to the additional funds, the project will now feature new armor — Gondorian, Rohirrim, Lothlórien, and Khazad-dûm, a new playable character — Arwen, and Barad-dûr tokens.
In Lord of the Rings: Foes of Middle-earth, along with members of the Fellowship of the Ring, players will visit randomized locations in Middle-earth, participate in dangerous adventures, acquire equipment, and fight legendary enemies.
A game in this board game, lasting approximately 90 minutes, is divided into three stages: exploration, trial, and the final battle with the Curse of Durin (the last of Morgoth's surviving Balrogs).
Currently, the basic box of Lord of the Rings: Foes of Middle-earth with a Balrog miniature can be pre-ordered for $159 (12,313 rubles), the "Saruman" expansion — for $109 (8,441 rubles), and the "All Inclusive" set — for $349 (27,027 rubles). The board game will reach buyers in June 2027.
