As the name suggests, Fate of the Fellowship is based on the plot of Tolkien’s novel. Each round takes anywhere from 60 to 150 minutes, but no need to worry about getting multiple people to play a board game with you for two-plus hours:

Designed by Pandemic creator Matt Leacock, Fate of the Fellowship emphasizes that Fate of the Fellowship is fully playable solo–it’s explicitly called out on the back of the box.

The Fellowship’s job is to protect Frodo on his quest to Mount Doom to destroy the One Ring. Each player picks two characters to control from a pool of 13. You’ll have to contend with Shadow Troops and the spectral beings known as Nazgul–represented as miniature figures–while being mindful of the searching Eye. Just like in the books and movies, Sauron’s Eye is perched atop Barad-dur. The constructible tower is 11 inches tall and serves as a thematically appropriate dice roller.

Designed as a replayable experience that introduces a few wrinkles to the Pandemic System loop, Fate of the Fellowship has 24 core objectives and 14 unique event cards. Each playable character has distinct abilities, too. Here’s a list of everything included in the box:

• 1 Game Board
• 1 Barad-dur Dice Tower
• 13 Character Figures
• 9 Nazgul Miniatures
• 48 Shadow Troops
• 35 Friendly Troops
• 48 Region Cards
• 14 Event Cards
• 12 Skies Darken Cards
• 24 Objective Cards
• 10 Reference Cards
• 13 Character Cards
• 50 Shadow Cards
• 3 Battle Dice
• 7 Search Dice
• 6 Haven Tokens
• 6 Stronghold Tokens
• 1 Eye of Sauron Token
• 1 Solo Token
• 1 Hope Marker
• 36 Symbol Tokens
• 1 Threat Rate Marker

Interestingly, Leacock has said his initial ideas for Pandemic were inspired by playing the The Lord of the Rings board game released in 2000 by prolific game designer Reiner Knizia.
