The Lord of the Rings-themed board game Foes of Middle-earth has climbed to $600,000 in Kickstarter funding, up $60,000 from $540,000 last week. This dungeon crawler, inspired by Peter Jackson’s films, continues to draw backers for its cinematic battles against foes like the Balrog and Saruman.
Following its rapid achievement of the $50,000 goal shortly after launch in February 2026, Foes of Middle-earth demonstrates sustained momentum a week after surpassing $540,000. The campaign underscores the enduring appeal of J.R.R. Tolkien’s Middle-earth in tabletop gaming, with licensed content evoking the epic scope of the films through narrative-driven adventures.
