Sauron is a 1977 board wargame published by Simulations Publications, Inc.

Gameplay

Sauron is a game that deals with the defeat of Sauron by Elendil and Gil-galad at the end of the Second Age.[1]

Reception

David James Ritchie reviewed Sauron in The Space Gamer No. 17.[1] Ritchie reviewed Gondor and Sauron together and commented that "They are adequate, but nothing more. Yet this lack of excellent is a cheat. Those who buy these games will do so because of the familiarity with the Tolkien mythos. They will expect the same impact from these games as was present in the books. They will not find the same degree of experience".[1]
