Lord of the Rings: The Confrontation

Area Movement

You move your pieces across different regions on the board, trying to position yourself in the best spots.

Card Play Conflict Resolution

Conflicts are resolved by playing cards instead of rolling dice — it puts the outcome more in your hands.

Hand Management

You have a hand of cards and deciding which to play, save, or discard is the core puzzle.

Memory

You need to remember where things are or what happened earlier — a sharp memory gives you a real advantage.

Secret Unit Deployment

You place your units face-down so opponents don't know what you've got — the reveal is always exciting.

Simultaneous Action Selection

Everyone chooses their action at the same time and reveals together — no waiting around, and plenty of surprises.

Variable Player Powers

Each player has unique abilities that make their experience different — finding the best way to use yours is half the fun.
