War of the Ring: The Game of Middle Earth

War of the Ring is a 1976 board wargame published by Fantasy Games Unlimited. It is based on the Middle-earth works of J. R. R. Tolkien.

War of the Ring is a two player game that pits one player as Gondor and one player as Mordor in a battle for control of the One Ring.

Tony Watson reviewed War of the Ring in The Space Gamer No. 12. Watson commented that "The game plays well as game, but the use of a Diplomacy type system in a game of this nature is questionable."
