A Previews exclusive - The second independent Lord of the Rings board game designed by Reiner Knizia and illustrated by acclaimed Tolkien artist John Howe, Lord of the Rings: the Confrontation board game follows the harrowing exploits of the Fellowship as they frantically race to bring Frodo to Mordor, while the dark lord Sauron seeks to capture Frodo and the One Ring before he reaches Mt.
