Each player controls a nation (The Woodmen, Noldo Elves, one of the Nazgul's lands) and tries to build its economy, armies, and characters to defeat the opposing alliance (Good or Evil) and emerge as the strongest nation in Middle Earth. So the game includes elements of wargaming, diplomacy, and character adventures. I find it a thoroughly enjoyable mix, and the Tolkien connection adds a lot.
