## Description

The stalwart warriors of the Free Peoples - Elves, Dwarves and Men - formed an uneasy alliance to defend the Lonely Mountain and the treasure of Smaug. Now, they are facing the endless horde of minions of the Necromancer. The Shadow Armies, led by Bolg, son of Azog, are going to sweep the ruins of Dale and the Front Gate with an unstoppable onslaught. Will the Goblins come through the mountain soon enough to overwhelm the Free Peoples with a two-pronged attack? Can the arrival of Beorn, the skin-changer, turn the tide in favor of the Free Peoples? Will the coming of the Eagles stop the Goblins from crossing the mountain? The Battle of Five Armies is a two-players game that allows you to re-create the epic conclusion of The Hobbit, the world-renowned masterpiece by J. R. R. Tolkien. The Shadow player commands the armies of Bolg, son of Azog, the King of the Goblins of Mount Gundabad, while the Free Peoples player is in control of Men, Dwarves and Elves, led by Gandalf to fend off the goblin army. Based on the acclaimed mechanics first used in the War of the Ring boardgame, The Battle of Five Armies merges action dice and event cards, to make each game a unique experience. The system has been further enhanced by the addition of the Fate Track mechanic, handling the arrival of the allies and the triggering of special events. All the key characters in the battle - Bilbo, Gandalf, Thorin, Dain, the Elven King, Bard, Beorn, Bolg - are featured with powerful special abilities and unique sculptures. The Battle of Five Armies includes 125 plastic figures and many more top-quality components.

Review: Awesome game - If you liked the War of the Ring board game this is awesome too. Has a great fast paced tactical gameplay, great quality pieces and board. The game balance seems fair, haven’t played too many games yet but neither side seems to be overpowered. There were no missing or damaged pieces. It’s a really fun game made a great Christmas present, happy I got it.
Review: amazingly fun, fantastic game - Ares Games is becoming a household name for quality and great games. This is a simplified version of War of the Ring, but is still unique that it is its own game. This game is dripping with theme, 1 player controls the free people, and the other is the shadow player. There is a couple different win conditions for both sides, if the Free People can bring Beorn into the game before the shadow player has at least 6 points the free people win, if the fate track reaches 15 free people win, If Bolg gets eliminated Free People win. If Shadow player gets 10 pointa and controls front gate they automatically win, or if they have 10 points at the end of a round they win. The shadow army is racing to take control of settlements and free peoples fortifications, and trying to get Bolg into play through combat and card play. This is an amazing miniatures game set in the hobbit universe. All the key characters are here, and each is very unique from each other. If you want to see a complete game in action, Ricky Royal has a play through on his youtube channel, he shows all aspects of the game and explains the rules in a very entertaining way. We give this game a 10-10, this is the most amazing game I have played in awhile, and can't wait to what Ares Games releases next.
