In 1956, The Return of the King was published in the United States – thus completing the publication of the first edition of Tolkien’s epic trilogy, The Lord of the Rings. To celebrate this anniversary, and the 5th Anniversary of the publication of War of the Ring Second Edition, Ares Games is proud to announce the Anniversary Release of War of the Ring Second Edition.

War of the Ring Second Edition – designed by Roberto Di Meglio, Marco Maggi and Francesco Nepitello – is widely recognized as the best boardgame based upon the works of J.R.R. Tolkien. This new edition of the game will feature a set of 205 figures, hand painted in a high quality style; a hot-foil stamped game board, about 20% larger than the normal board included in Second Edition; a unique hardcover strategy guide, the “War of the Ring Companion”, written by Kristofer Bengtsson and featuring beautiful artwork by John Howe. The game board, cards and rules will be updated to reflect all the changes introduced by the Second Edition and to incorporate the latest rulings and frequently asked questions.
