The aim of the game is to move around the board and collect tiles under Helm's Klamm that match the symbols on the Sauron Army cards so you can defeat them and turn the card over. The first player who manages to turn all cards over, win! Different action symbols can be seen on the playing field, each bringing different actions. They let the players roll the dice again, fall back on the playing field or take tiles from Helm's Klamm. The collected markers must match the symbols on the battle cards. Then they can be turned over to get a little closer to victory.
