Wizkids presenta Lord of the Rings, Dice building Games.

Los chicos de Wizkids, se acaban de sacar de la manga, un nuevo Dice Building o contructor de dados.
Para buscar alguna referencia al respecto, debemos tomar como ejemplo, Quarriors, precisamente de la misma editorial, que este Lord Of the Rings.
Poco ha trascendido de la noticia, simplemente una nota de aviso, la caja que veis en la imagen y de momento nada más, referente a su mecánica.
Veremos a donde nos llevará todo esto.
Detrás del proyecto, Mr E.Lang, creador entre otros de La llamada de Cthulhu LCG y Warhammer Invasión.

HILLSIDE, NJ – September  17, 2012 - NECA/WizKids Games, the leader in collectible gaming, under license with Warner Bros. Consumer Products, is excited to announce the upcoming release of their next game — The Lord of the Rings Dice Building Game, offering a unique twist on the original Quarriors dice building game engine invented by renowned game designers Mike Elliott and Eric Lang.

Players must work together to assemble an army of dice representing brave Men, battle-ready Dwarves, wise Elves and stout-hearted Hobbits and muster their troops against the forces of Sauron.  But beware — some may be tempted by the power of The One Ring and become corrupted by evil!

“Fans of Quarriors will readily recognize the dice building mechanic…but The Lord of the Rings Dice Building Game explores a few key elements that make it an entirely new experience out of the box,” said Mike Elliott.

Eric Lang described the final design as “very exciting… To be able to use the dice building engine and weave in the rich tapestry of characters, locations, weapons and more that make up the world of Middle-earth was a great challenge.  Jeph Stahl and Brett Myers, who worked on the set, did a great job.”

The Lord of the Rings Dice Building Game will be available for purchase in January of 2013.
