War of the Ring: The Game of Middle Earth

War of the Ring is a two player game with one player as Gondor and one player as Mordor as they compete to control the One Ring.^[1]

Tony Watson reviewed War of the Ring in The Space Gamer No. 12.^[1] 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."^[1]

In the 1978 White Dwarf gaming magazine (Issue 05) it was reviewed by Mike Westhead. He gave it a score of 5 out of 10, disliking the presentation, expense, rule ambiguities and the fact it had no control markers.^[2]
