Introduction

The Lord of the Rings Combat Hex Tradeable Miniatures Game by Sabertooth Games, is a battle strategy game using maps, dice and richly detailed premium quality plastic figures, based on the well known characters created by JRR Tolkien.  The average miniature is approximately 40mm high, although some, such as the hobbits are a little smaller and others such as mounted riders are a little taller. There are also a few large figures which range from 70mm to 210mm high.

Playing

For new players buy a 'Starter Set' and see if the game appeals to you. After you have mastered the rules and can exploit a game characters' special abilities, you are rewarded with a highly playable game for two players, which can typically last from ten minutes to three hours depending on the size of your chosen battle force. The age required to play is 13 years, in practice children a few years younger than this can learn the game easily. However children as young as 5 years will play for hours with a small army of figures.

The complete range of models is comprehensive and includes many iconic figures from the films, some of which are mounted on a horse or a warg. There are a few large figures which tower above the average sized miniature. Every model except the Premium Line range is marked with a rarity symbol on its base, this classifies the figure as common, uncommon, rare, ultra rare or promo. However, in reality some figures are extremely rare and are highly sought after.
