Description

The Battle of Five Armies is a thrilling board game that drops you into the midst of an epic clash between good and evil, as depicted in JRR Tolkien's The Hobbit. You'll take on the role of one of two opposing forces, either the Free Peoples, comprising elves, dwarves, and men, or the dark forces of wolves, goblins, and bats. With a range of plastic figures representing troops, heroes, and monsters, you'll battle it out on a beautifully rendered game board that brings the Lonely Mountain and its surroundings to life. As you navigate the complexities of the game, which can take anywhere from 90 to 240 minutes to play, you'll need to master a range of mechanics, including area majority, area movement, and dice rolling. With its intricate rules and extensive use of text, this game is perfect for fans of fantasy and adventure who are looking for a challenging and immersive experience.
