Well, the new Lord of the Rings Nazgul from Wizkids didn’t make the original May 16th release date, but it will be released May 30th just in time for Origins. Those pesky Hobbits need to be stopped! What the heck did you go to all that trouble for anyway? Obtaining one of the Nine Rings of Power given to humans, doing Sauron’s laundry, wearing those heavy black robes regardless of the heat. Now you need to stop a couple of hobbits from throwing the One Ring into Mt Doom. Piece of cake.

In reality, the real description of the game is a bit different.

The dark lord Sauron is pleased that you have… chosen… to champion the true destiny of Middle-earth. Some prefer the hopeless cause of men and their miserable allies. Theirs is a fool’s choice! You show no affinity for such delusions. You seek glory for Sauron, and your rewards shall be great!

You are one of Sauron’s most powerful minions: a Nazgul! You must work together with the other Nazgul to stop the cursed hobbits and destroy the resistance of men. But at the same time, you must strive to prove your own worth to the dark lord. After all, there are rumors that even the Witch-king can be killed, and Sauron may soon need a new leader for the Nazgul.

In The Lord of the Rings: Nazgul Board Game, you are faced with three Campaigns that you must conquer before the Ring-bearer carries The One Ring to Mount Doom. If you cannot complete them in time, all players lose! Along the way, you will earn Victory Points; and if the group succeeds in its duty, the player with the most VPs wins!
