More from the Fantasy Flight Games website...

Three Rings for the Elven-kings under the sky, Seven for the Dwarf-lords in their halls of stone, Nine for Mortal Men doomed to die, One for the Dark Lord on his dark throne in the land of Mordor where the Shadows lie. One Ring to rule them all. One ring to find them. One Ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them. In the land of Mordor where the Shadows lie.

The Confrontation is a two-player board game in which players take control of the forces of Sauron, seeking to find their master's ring, or the forces of the free peoples of Middle Earth seeking to destroy Sauron's ring in the fires of Mount Doom. One of the most acclaimed board games of recent years, The Confrontation allows players to control many of the popular characters of Tolkien's famous trilogy, while playing an intense 30-minute game that is a wonderful combination of bluffing and strategy. The Confrontation is designed by renowned game designer Reiner Knizia, and considered among his best works.

Deluxe Confrontation gives the game a larger gameboard, larger sculpted plastic stands, and completely new artwork for the characters and cards. The game includes 18 entirely new characters in addition to the classic characters found in the original. The new characters allow players to play an entirely new game, or mix the Variant and Classic characters for an exciting new game experience.

What is new in the Deluxe Edition?

In this edition you will not only be able to play the original classic game, but also play an entirely new variant game with new characters found on the reverse side of the character tiles. Furthermore, you will also be able to play a 'draft' version of the game in which players may select characters from either the original version or the variant game. Finally, the Deluxe Edition also includes four new Special Cards in addition to the four Special Cards found in the original release.

In summary these are the new elements of this edition:

• A variant game using the 18 new characters found on the reverse side of the classic character tiles.
• Rules for playing a draft game. The included character tokens may be used as visual reminders for which declared mix of characters your opponent is using in the draft game.
• Four new Special Cards, for use with either the classic game, the variant game, or the draft game.
• Larger character tiles and plastic stands, sculpted to identify either the Sauron or the Fellowship player.
• Some new terms in the game rules and regions are used. For example, the 'Moria' region from the original game is now called 'Caradhras.'
• Common questions that arose from the original rules have been addressed in these rules.
• Brand new artwork on all characters and cards and a larger game board.
