War of the Ring 2E: Kings of Middle-Earth Expansion
Product number:
AREWOTR015
Manufacturer:
Ares Games
For centuries, Sauron sought to exert his influence over the rulers of Middle-earth, and to use his powers and his minions to coerce the leaders of the Free Peoples into submission. In contrast, Gandalf worked tirelessly to revive hope and stir resistance against the Shadow. Now, you can decide the outcome of this struggle for the hearts and minds of Middle-earth's rulers . . .
Kings of Middle-earth introduces Sovereigns and Dark Chieftains. These two new types of Characters represent important personalities of Middle-earth with a vital role in the War of the Ring.
The Sovereigns of the Free Peoples were targeted by Sauron's attempts to bend the will of the peoples opposing him - using the palantíri (the seeing stones), through emissaries, like Gríma, and possibly with other subtle and deceitful means. At the same time, it was crucial for the morale of the Free Peoples to rally around these charismatic figures - Brand, Dáin Ironfoot, Denethor, Theéoden, and Thranduil - to fight against the Shadow. The new rules, miniatures, cards, and Action dice included in this expansion will allow the players to fully develop this conflict and represent the role of these characters in your game.
This expansion also adds three new Characters, the Dark Chieftains, to the Shadow hosts. Unlike the Ringwraiths, who were fully controlled by the Rings of Power, these powerful leaders of the Shadow Armies had distinct personalities, but ultimately all were subject to the commands of Sauron or Saruman. One Dark Chieftain is included for each of the three Shadow Nations - the Black Serpent, the Shadow of Mirkwood, and Uglúk.
Contents:
13 Plastic Figures
5 Corrupted Sovereign Rings
2 Special Action Dice
13 Character Cards
19 Event Cards
1 Sovereign Corruption Board
14 Cardboard Counters
2 Reference Sheets

Great Expansion
This expansion is a great edition to the base game. The expansion adds a lot of extra moves for each player to make and causes you to have better dice economy.

Looking forward to adding this to my game!
Haven't had a chance to play with this expansion yet, but after a quick review of the contents and rules I am eager to give it a try. Love having more variety for this great game.

Kings of the Free People and Leaders of the Shadow
This expansion adds some very interesting elements and some additional considerations the Free People and Shadow players must consider. As the Shadow player do you try to corrupt a Free People King? As the Free People player do you awaken a king? This is a great addition to an already outstanding game. The quality of the pieces (figures, cards, boards, and counters) are just as good as the base game and other expansions.
