The Treachery of Gollum is an expansion to the Middle-earth Strategy Battle Game that provides a series of linked Narrative Scenarios and engaging hobby content. It allows you to recreate some of the most iconic scenes featuring the creature Gollum and the vile spider, Shelob. Will you guide Frodo on his arduous quest to Mordor, in an attempt to destroy The One Ring and end the tyranny of the Dark Lord once and for all, or side with the conniving Gollum and lure the Ringbearer into a carefully laid trap and claim the Precious for yourself?
This 48-page softcover expansion contains:
– Nine Narrative Scenarios: Recreate some of Gollum and Shelob’s most diabolical and evil moments.
– A Linked Campaign System: Connect each of the Narrative Scenarios so that the result of one battle will have an impact on the next.
– Full Painting Guides: Learn how to paint your Gollum and Shelob miniatures so they look just how they did in The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King™.
– Step-by-step Hobby Tutorials: Create the winding tunnels of Shelob’s lair, the sewers beneath the ruined city of Osgiliath, the foetid bogs of the Dead Marshes, and more.
You will need a copy of the Middle-earth Strategy Battle Game Rules Manual and Armies of The Lord of the Rings™, both available separately, to make full use of this expansion.
