LotR: Fate of the Fellowship

The Lord of the Rings: Fate of the Fellowship is a cooperative game by Matt Leacock, the designer of Pandemic. The team must get Frodo and the One Ring to Mount Doom while holding back Sauron's forces across Middle-earth.

Each player controls two characters, splitting actions between them each turn. Players share cards tied to regions of Middle-earth, and after every turn, Shadow cards move enemy armies and Nazgûl across the map. Along the way you complete story objectives, and in the end, the Ring-bearer must reach Mount Doom with enough Ring cards to destroy the Ring. If Frodo loses all hope, everyone loses.
