I was going to ask "If I pick up the new base box and this expansion, do I have everything I need to have fun?" Thanks for the review, I'm picking this up, along with the new box. And we're going to see Return of the King at the theather tonight, they've been showing them again here once per month, we love those movies.
Nice review! As a first, if you prefer a small expansion, the Dark of Mirkwood is pretty good, too, but this is better. I love the FFG LCG's and there is plenty of unreviewed content for that. Nice to see this one getting the spotlight!
Fatty Bolger was very helpful in the actual novels. He wasn’t super awesome, but who amongst us would be, when faced with Nazgûl? He even rose up against the brigands who took over the shire and was imprisoned for it. On the other hand, the Fatty Bolger card in this expansion is terrible, not worth playing.
Bummer. I’m always needing more a certain cards. Doing two and three player games. So I’m not against buying multiple copies. Just hoping for more stuff.
It would have been nice to see more of the cards. It looks like the developers had the LOTR licence but not the film licence, so couldn't use the actors likenesses. For me, that's a "skip".
@@TheLatestRetroBoardGameShow I know I know. And I hate to say it. I've been battling with this game back and forth since it came out. I love the IP so much and I think the artwork is beautiful, but I just can't get it. I think it must be that to me at least the mechanics of the player decks are too limiting. Keep up the great work, by the way! Love your stuff!
Not getting a game doesn’t make it a crappy game, it just means it’s not to you. I don’t enjoy “Gone With The Wind” but that doesn’t mean it’s a crappy movie, just not for me.
