A new board game set in the world of J.R.R. Tolkien’s *The Lord of the Rings* is now available for purchase on Amazon. Titled *The Lord of the Rings: Fate of the Fellowship*, this game stands out as it is built on the acclaimed cooperative strategy game *Pandemic*, which was first released in 2008. Designed by Matt Leacock, who spent three years developing this adaptation, the game offers a fresh take on the beloved fantasy universe.
The retail price for *Fate of the Fellowship* is set at $80. This price point reflects its status as a more elaborate option compared to other games in the *Pandemic System*, which have included franchises such as *World of Warcraft* and *Star Wars*. While most titles in this series resemble the original *Pandemic* game, which retails for around $50, *Fate of the Fellowship* aims to provide a richer gaming experience.
