    This game is a masterpiece. I never liked board games until I discovered Catan. I am a huge fan of Tolkien’s lord of the rings which I’m sure helped keep me motivated to dig through the extensive rulebook. My friend and I both read this, watched tutorials, and took pages of notes. It seems overwhelming, but it clicks relatively quickly. Once you’ve played through it once you will start to think ohhh next time I will be sure to do this.. and then the next round you’ll learn more and more until eventually it’s all strategy. The level of depth is so satisfying and unbelievably amazing. The miniatures, board, and dice are of good quality and take up an impressive amount of space. The artwork is awesome and I appreciate it being different than the movies. This is a must own for anyone who likes board games or any lord of the rings fan out there. Each game is super thematic to retelling a new story. I own the expansions and can’t wait to learn them. Provided that you have a second player willing to dive into middle earth with you.. this guarantees hours of adventurous battle that always leave you wanting to rematch the next day. I recommend finding a free day to spend anywhere between 2-4 hours or what I do is play a few turns every day or so to just relax and play out a few strategic moves. I fully recommend this. So glad I picked it up. It’ll be difficult to find a better purchase of 2018 for me.

    Full five stars! This game us amazing! I play this game all the time. Before i start praiseing how great thus game is i must first point out that thus game does take a lot of time to learn and play. It took me a whole Saturday to read the 44 page rule book and play one game. which i still ended up playing wrong. Also the average game takes about 3 hours to play. So if you don't have hours to pour into this game r your not into long games it is not for you .If you are concerned about the price it is pretty expensive but it is completely worth it. Also I should mention the game takes up my whole 6 by 4 foot table. Ok now i can say how amazing this game is. First of all its lotr themed which makes it a great game already. But the game does a very great job of staying true to jrr Tolkien stories. Second, the game dynamics and mechanics are very complex which makes for a new experience every time. I love that both sides have their own advantages and downfalls. It feels so good when you get to destroy the one ring when you are the good side. And it feels equally as good as the bad side to completely destroy and take over middle earth. And lastly the art is amazing! I love the detailed portraits and miniatures. Especially since all the art was done by Alan Lee who did most of the concept art for Peter jacksons adaptation. Overall it is a great investment and a great game!

    An amazing game! If you like lord of the rings and you’re willing to put in the time to learn, this is one of the best games I’ve played.

    Pros
    -Lord of the rings theme is awesome
    -Miniatures look cool
    -Rich lore based gameplay
    -Gameplay seems really fluid once you get the hang of it
    -Fun mechanics with moving the fellowship and hunting for the ring
    -combat is good

    Cons
    -Rules are complex and easy to forget/overlook rules
    -Games can take 2-3+ hours typically (could be a pro if you like really long games)
    -miniatures look very similar (I painted the stands of all mine to be able to tell them apart easily)
    -many of my miniatures had bent spears and some stand kind of wonky

    Overall, this is an awesome game and as long as you’re willing to put in the work to learn the rules and probably get a few wrong the first few times you play you’ll have a great time. Make sure you set aside enough time to play it 2 hours minimum, and probably more than that if it’s the first time you are playing it. The figures look cool but since they’re all the same color it’s hard to tell some apart. They only include 5 small dice in the box, this slowed down combat and such so I ordered extra dice online so each player had access to 5 dice at all time. In the end I love this game and it’s a lot of fun, but I’ve invested hours of my time trying to learn all the rules, you definitely will be looking in the instructions a lot the first few time you play. I really like the mechanics of moving the fellowship and hunting for the ring. I just wish they would have included more six sided dice in the box and made the figure easier to tell apart out of the box.

    Tenia tiempo buscandolo en oferta y lo pudimos comprar en un excelente precio. Queríamos animarnos con un War Game pesado, por lo que decidimos intentar con este, dado que la temática del señor de los anillos nos encanta. Una partida require varias horas; las acciones no son tan complicadas, solo que hay bastantes que hacer durante el turno. Llegó en buenas condiciones.

    Game is super fun with a friend! Haven’t tried with more than 2 players, but the tension just from the game between you and your buddy creates a great feel. Only “bad” thing is the rules for the fellowship is kinda hard to get from the book but a quick guide online sorted it out, but overall amazing game!

    Rules took a bit of effort to get through, but it definitely paid dividends. My wife and I have loved our playthroughs so far. First game lasted 6 hours as we were still unfamiliar with the rules, but the second lasted about 3.5 hours and we enjoyed every minute of both. Highly recommended two player thematic experience, second breakfast not included!
