Lord Of The Rings LCG - Game Play 2 

Thank you kindly!

Have a great time playing Darren!

Very kind of you to say! This one sat on my shelf for awhile as well! Was a pleasure to feature it on the show.

+Watch It Played Me 3, had it for years unplayed... now i cant stop playing it and tuning decks. These have been v. useful

You're very welcome! Glad you found us. Check our playlists and you may find some other games we've covered that may be of interest to you.

Sorry about the coffee :)

So nice to know this has been helpful Julius. I hope you have a great time playing!

what?

+Daniel W. All the best Daniel! It's not easy, but stick with it and I'm sure you'll be winning some adventures soon enough :) Thanks for the kind words about the video!

Thanks Scott! Hope you had an enjoyable adventure!

Matthew, I'm so glad this video was helpful and that you're enjoying the game!

Thank you so much for the kind words!

Very glad to have been able to sit with you and go through this - happy adventuring!

That's very kind of you to say :) I really enjoyed doing this series - glad you liked it!

+Erick Bertolotti Thanks so much for the kind words Erick - very pleased to hear you've found the videos helpful and all the best with your own designing!

Glad to have you here - this one sat on my shelf for a long time, for the same reason, which is part of the reason that once I finally did learn it, I hoped I could help others too :)

I hope your revisit of the game is fun Tyler!

You're very welcome - glad you found it helpful!

That is correct. When a character exhausts, the attachments don't.

Thank you!

Hope you get a chance to enjoy it soon!

***** A month later and I'm absolutely obsessed with this game. Thinking about buying exp. and packs.

Michael Lao So glad to hear it's been a great fit for you!

Such a good one - happy adventuring!!

You're welcome and best of luck on your questing!

Thanks Thomas!

Very nice to hear Daniel!

Very glad to hear it was helpful Flamur!

+Taylor Gaspard Really glad you enjoyed it - have fun playing!

These are great questions, but I shot this long enough ago now I don't recall, and don't have a copy to be able to easily check the answers for you. All the best in your quest - never too late to discover a game that's new-to-you!

Thanks so much! I'm always glad to help! Best of luck in your next round!

Glad to hear you've been enjoying it - it's a game they still make today!

Hi Josh, glad you're enjoying - a great game to get back into! I don't know the exact size, but they were standard Magic the Gathering sized sleeves from Dragon Shield. I don't have the cloth anymore, and I'm not sure where I got it.

I will be there!

@@WatchItPlayed Yesss so awesome! Cant wait to go to such a huge convention. I hope there is room for a tiny photograph moment ;)

@@Stinow I'll be at the BoardGameGeek booth a lot, so swing by, and I'd be happy to see you!

Thank you Ray - I'm breaking this one out to play with Luke again tonight :)

Glad the video was a help to you!

Enjoy your new challenges :)

You're welcome!

Yep.

I thought card rules override the general rules, so in this case IMO it should be as the card says: "on the quest".

That's great to hear Jason! Thanks for checking these out :)

Very possible I had a mis-point!

he spooked me good man omg!!!! so frckin scary fffffff

Sorry!

Glad to assist: Mansions of Madness First Edition, Wrath of Ashardalon, Small World and Space Hulk. We have videos for all of them, but I'd recommend the Mansions of Madness 2nd Edition video series over the original, as that original version of the game is no longer in print.

You pay for them during any phase (where they can be played). The rule book talks quite a bit about events, but you may find it easiest to download the rules as a PDF file and then you can do a word search for "events", to see the various times when it talks about their uses.

I think you can find quite a bit of extra replay value in the box, if you try the scenarios with different combinations of decks. That said, it's going to come down to your personal tastes. One person may really enjoy redoing the quests, another may want new ones.

***** I know this is a late entry but you can do the following to get more out of the core and adventure packs to get more replay value. You can increase the difficulty. Try building new Hero groups and see how well you can do with the new play challenges. For an expert level challenge, players can attempt to defeat all 3 scenarios using the same combination of players, decks, and heroes. The score from each scenario can then be added together to get a single score measuring overall success on the entire campaign. For a “nightmare” level challenge, do not reset threat, hit points, or player decks at the beginning of each scenario. When playing such a campaign, the players should start with the “Passage through Mirkwood” scenario, follow with the “Journey Down the Anduin” scenario, and finish with the “Escape from Dol Guldur” scenario The flip side is, if you find yourself playing a scenario and hard to beat they have new rules to allow for easy play: www.fantasyflightgames.com/ffg_content/lotr-lcg/support/easy-mode/LOTR_Easy_Mode.pdf Here is the link to all rules: www.fantasyflightgames.com/edge_minisite_sec.asp?eidm=129&esem=4 Enjoy...

So glad you enjoyed!

Daniel Simon because he was sent on the quest early in the turn.

Thanks to Julie for the assist!

Hi Artur, I shot this series long enough ago, that I can't really offer detailed answers to all of these questions. I haven't played the game in quite a few years now.

When you have an Active quest, you must always place tokens on it first, but you may put any "spill over" tokens onto the Scenario quest. For example, if the traveled to quest needed one more quest token and Legolas killed an enemy, you would put one on the Active quest, completing it and then the extra token would go to the Scenario quest. Hope that helps.

***** What about character cards such as Lorien Guide which says "After Lorian Guide commits to a quest, place 1 progress token on the active location."? I always thought that because it specified "active location" here, that meant that the active quest and active location were two different types of cards. (Background: I'm not trying to be a bad guy or a troll. I own this game and play it a lot, but I'm about to start a game night with my boyfriend and was looking for tutorials on the games we own in order to share them with others that would come to the game night. That's how I came across your tutorial, and I honestly want to know if I've been playing it wrong, or correctly.) I also have another question: We've always been confused about which point you progress to the next quest at. For example if you complete quest 1b during the questing phase, should you turn over immediately to quest 2a and 2b, which in some cases would cause new things to happen, or do you want until the turn is over (after the refresh phase)?

Marina Nudel No worries, no trolling presumed :) Page 14 rulebook: "Note that if there is an active location (see page 15), progress tokens are placed on that location until it is explored, and the remainder are then placed on the current quest." Page 15 rulebook: "an active location acts as a buffer for the currently revealed quest card. Any progress tokens that would be placed on a quest card are instead placed on the active location." As for flipping quest cards, it happens right away. Page 22 rulebook: "Players immediately advance to the next stage of a quest as soon as they place a number of progress tokens equal to or greater than the number of quest points the current quest card has. Additional progress tokens earned against the quest do not carry over to the next stage."

Thanks!

***** Yeah, but the Golden rule in the front of the rules says that if a card's text conflicts with an established rule, the card takes precedent. Legolas' ability specifically says to put them on the quest. Am I taking it too literally?

+youmeanmeright You don't have to travel to a location.

Thanks - great to have you here!

+Ryan Thompson Yep, just a tripod and a camera. For this video I'm not sure exactly what mic I was using at the time. I think a Rode VideoMic.

You would have to pool them all together - you can't make separate attacks. From the rule book: "A player may declare multiple characters as attackers against a single enemy, pooling their attack strength into a single value. A player has the opportunity to declare 1 attack against each enemy with which he is engaged."

If you can give me a time stamp, I'd be happy to explain (it's been a few years since I shot this video).

***** at 6:00 ends the attack of the spider and after that the orc hat to attack or am i wrong ?

Sven Redecker sorry rodney, have no sound here, did legolas work as defender ?

Sven Redecker I think you'll find it easier to follow with sound. At the 6 minute mark the Orc attacks as well, but I state that I'm not declaring a defender (this means the attack damage will all have to be assigned to one of my Heroes). It's a risky move, but I did this so I would have 2 heroes free to attack, rather than exhausting one as the defender.

***** ok , that makes sense, thx for your effort

When you have extra quest tokens to place on a location you've 'traveled to' (that is, one removed from the staging area to put by the quest deck), any extra progress you would add to that new priority location (after completing it), would go onto the quest card. However, when you complete a Quest card, the extras are lost, and do not get added to the next reveal quest card.

Thank you! :D

oh, I watched the video carefully and if you do not defend an attack, your hero is gonna take ALL the damage (armor value doesn't count). Ok, now I have clear the benefits of declaring defenders :D

jeeperscreepers7 Yep, you've got it!

Right. If you have an active location, it takes priority over the scenario quest.

Once an enemy engages you, it stays engaged with you.

sir i mean if that card attack me again his "FORCED" ability continues to effect on me?

Gelo Dugan Yes. But it will depend on the wording. For example if it said "Forced: If a Dwarf is defending it takes 1 damage", well, then it only happens if the Defender is a dwarf.

***** okay Sir Thank You Very Much! You Help A lot!

Gelo Dugan My pleasure Gelo.

There's 7 parts here (some of the other 'parts' are discussions, answering questions, etc). A session is likely closer to an hour. In these videos I'm talking through everything I'm doing, reminding people of rules, etc. Things you wouldn't have to worry about in your own plays :)

thanks! for me, friday actually takes close to an hour to play haha (around 50 minutes), i'm guessing friday for you probably takes 20 minutes? maybe i'm not too familiar with all the rules

Familiarity with the rules helps - and so does losing quickly :) That can shorten the game as well!

Watch It Played right on, will you do a "top 10 favourite board games" video at any point?!?!?!? VERY CURIOUS

Thanks for the interest Alpha. That is unlikely as I don't review on this channel. I talk a bit about that here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-p0Lv8LHadMc.html&t=10m55s

Dragon Shield clear sleeves.

Dragon Shield clear sleeves.

@@WatchItPlayed thank you very much!

Hey Jennifer, Sentinel, let's you declare yourself as a defender for 'another' player who is being attacked, but any character can defend against an attack directed at their player. Hope that helps!

@@WatchItPlayed It does, thank you! :D

@@WatchItPlayed So if I have Aragorn, and he's exhausted, I could spend a resource token to ready him and defend me, or ready him and declare him as defense for another player using his sentinel title, right?

@@MrsChirpyBird You've got it!

@@WatchItPlayed Ok, one last question hehe I am going through the first quest from the core game, in Mirkwood. I chose a random path after the fork in the road and the final leg of the quest was I had to keep playing until I found and defeated Ungoliant's Spawn, but the quest card has a 0 quest points. Do I just fight the Spawn card when it comes out and not have to do any quest resolution since that card is now at zero? Furthermore, do more encounter cards come out after each round the Spawn isn't defeated, or no since it is the boss and there's nothing to resolve in the quest phase? Or is there? :D Ok that should be it from me after this 😂

I definitely know the feeling!
