So was the King under the Mountain, and his companions followed him. Capes and hoods were gone; they were dressed in glittering armor, and a red gleam came from their eyes. In the darkness, the great dwarf glowed like gold in a dying fire. Smaug the Dragon is dead... ... and the dragon's treasure is buried deep in the depths of Lonely Mountain... The army of the Free Peoples is in position in the Valley of Dale as a vast army of Darkness approaches. Goblins are climbing the mountain to attack their enemies from above. Unexpected help could save the Free Peoples - the Misty Mountain Eagles and Beorn the Shifter - but will they arrive in time, before all is lost?
In The Battle of the Five Armies, one player controls the forces of Bolg, son of Azog - a powerful horde of Orcs, Wargans and Goblins, reinforced by the Giant Black Forest Bats. His opponent controls the Free Peoples - Elven warriors, sturdy Dwarves and brave Lake Men, united by the wisdom of the Wizard Gandalf. Many factors affect the outcome of this battle. Can Gandalf's magic reverse the course of events? Will the bravery of Thorin the Oak Shield make the difference against Bolg's close guard? Will Bilbo Baggins Baggins use his Magic Ring to save Montcorbeau's hide?
By the creators of The War of the Ring, The Battle of the Five Armies is a strategy game for two players inspired by the epic conclusion of J.R.R. Tolkien's novel, Bilbo the Hobbit.
