The Lord of the Rings: Nazgul Board Game Coming from WizKids

Jan 18, 2012

WizKids Games announces a semi-co op game set in Middle-earth. The title of this one? The Lord of the Rings: Nazul Board Game. This May 3-5 players will take on the role of the Nazgul while working together to prevent the Hobbits from destroying the one ring. Not only do they have the Fellowship to stop sitting on their list of things to do but also have to impress their Dark Lord and kill all the other Nazgul.

Hmmm… I don’t seem to recall the Nazgul all trying to kill each other in the trilogy…

From WizKids:

Come not between the Nazgul and his prey! In this semi-cooperative board game, players portray the Nazgul – Sauron’s shadow-spawned Ringwraiths – seeking out the cursed Hobbit in their quest to thwart the resistance of men in Middle-earth, while striving to prove their merit in the Dark Lord’s all-seeing Eye. But, be wary when you work with – or against – your fellow Nazgul to advance your own secret agendas, for the One Ring must be found before the Fellowship returns it to the fiery bowels of Mount Doom and destroyed forever!”

The Lord of the Rings: Nazgul Board Game comes with 170 cards, 200 cubes, and 5 Nazgul figures (with HeroClix dials) to enhance your playing experience.

Hmmm… Not sure about this one. Do we have 2-4 friends who want to take on the role of the Nazgul trying to kill the fellowship? Outside of Randall in Clerks 2 that is…
