In this edition you will not only be able to play the original classic game, but also play an entirely new variant game with new characters found on the reverse side of the character tiles. Furthermore, you will also be able to play a “draft” version of the game in which players may select characters from either the original version or the variant game. Finally, the Deluxe Edition also includes four new Special Cards in addition to the four Special Cards found in the original release.
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.
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.
