The '''Race to Mount Doom League Kit (The Return of the King Edition)''' was the second and final iteration of the popular [[Race to Mount Doom]] league event-in-a-box, released by Decipher in November 2003<ref>Wayback Machine: [http://web.archive.org/web/20050209061109/http://www.decipher.com/content/2003/11/111803lotrrotkrace.html Race to Mount Doom: The Return of the King Edition; A New Path Lies Ahead]</ref>. The kit contained everything required to run a Race to Mount Doom multi-week league event, albeit packaged in different tiers to serve different purposes<ref>Wayback Machine: [http://web.archive.org/web/20050208233849/http://www.decipher.com/race/ RACE TO MOUNT DOOM: The Return of the King Edition; New Edition Launches End of November 2003].</ref>.

== Kit Versions ==

The '''Retail Kit''' ($50 + shipping) was intended for use by retailers, and included the following:

* A full 9-site wall mat for recording race path modifiers.
* Multilingual instruction manual.
* 36 game text modifiers on 2 static cling sheets that could be attached to the wall mat.
* A dry-erase marker for recording placements on the mat.
* 4 [[Foil]] copies each of {{Card|0P18}} and {{Card|0P22}}.
* A set of 3 {{C|Gondor}} [[Pins]] (gold, silver, bronze).
* A set of 3 {{C|Raider}} [[Pins]] (gold, silver, bronze).
* Two packs of 12 random [[Foil]] cards from [[The Two Towers]] set (enough awards for two runs of the league).

The '''Home Kit''' edition cost $20 (plus shipping), which included everything in the retail kit except for pins and TTT foils (and only 2 copies of foil {{Card|0P18}} and {{Card|0P22}}). However, the wall mat was an abbreviated 5-site path, and as a result facilitated shorter leagues (4-6 weeks, as opposed to 8-10 for the retailer version).

== Game Text Modifiers ==
The ROTK edition of Race included twice as many modifiers as were included in the TTT edition. 10 of the included modifiers were submitted by fans as part of a contest during late 2002<ref>Wayback Machine: [http://web.archive.org/web/20050209112808/http://www.decipher.com/content/2003/03/031703mtdoomcontestresults.html Race to Mount Doom Contest Winners Announced!]</ref>. Unlike the TTT edition, there isn't an obvious starting group to use, possibly due to community familiarity.

Modifiers marked with a * at the front were winners of the above-mentioned contest.
