The Confrontation is a two-player board game in which players take control of the forces of Sauron, seeking to find their master's ring, or the forces of the free peoples of Middle Earth seeking to destroy Sauron's ring in the fires of Mount Doom. One of the most acclaimed board games of recent years, The Confrontation allows players to control many of the popular characters of Tolkien's famous trilogy, while playing an intense 30-minute game that is a wonderful combination of bluffing and strategy. The Confrontation is designed by renowned game designer Reiner Knizia, and considered among his best works.

Deluxe Confrontation gives the game a larger gameboard, larger sculpted plastic stands, and completely new artwork for the characters and cards. The game includes 18 entirely new characters in addition to the classic characters found in the original. The new characters allow players to play an entirely new game, or mix the Variant and Classic characters for an exciting new game experience.
2 players, playable in 20-30 minutes.
