Office Dog Games has unveiled The Lord of the Rings: Circle of Conflict board game, set in The Lord of the Rings universe. It is now available for pre-order for $49.99.
In this strategic project, designed for 2–4 players, players will lead the armies of Darkness and the Free Peoples during the Third Age of Middle-earth. Armed with a full-size magazine with a reusable coating and eight custom dice, participants will hire legendary characters, including Gandalf and the Witch-king, to shift the balance of power in their favor.
The game offers a modern reinterpretation of the "roll-and-write" genre, turning it into an arena of strategic clashes where everything is decided by time and foresight. Combining dice drafting, hidden movement, and resource management with intense real-time PvP combat, The Lord of the Rings: Circle of Conflict challenges players' skills in planning, bluffing, and outplaying opponents.
In the box you will find eight unique dice, four battle boards, four markers, four player boards, a first player token, four reference cards, a One Ring board, a rule book, and a wooden Gollum marker.
The Lord of the Rings: Circle of Conflict is scheduled for release on November 6, 2026, but The Lord of the Rings fans will be able to see the game earlier at GenCon (July 30 – August 2).
