Your channel was posted on reddit this morning. Just having a quick look I came across this series which is perfect because I bought LoTR LCG last night. Look forward to watching this and your other series, it's so much easier to get to grips with a game after reading the rules if you can see it being played. Keep up the good work.

@twitchster77 10 лет назад

Amazon had the core sets at less then $18 with free shipping about a year ago...ended up purchasing 3 sets. Watched all your videos on the game and tried the first level 1 quest with a tactics deck. Failed badly...so I tried a few more games and just couldn't get it! Put the game up on a shelf and haven't touched it again till just now! xP Played the same scenario with the leadership deck and just blew through 3 easy wins on the first quest. I LOVE tactics on paper...I like smashing things in the face in my card games hehe...but it's so dang tricky to get mono tactics to work with the lack of willpower. Anyhow...no idea why I'm sharing this xP. Thanks for the videos man...they've been so much help to me! Glad I found this game again! Having a blast with it lately :D

I watched this when it was new like a decade ago, just getting into board games and I loved it, but I was so late to the party with this game that I just couldn't get into it. Now, I have a chance to get the revised rules set and subsequent releases and I am thrilled to be able to watch this again and get a leg up on the rules with an example of play thrown in. I have been such a fan of this channel for so long, that it really influenced how I tried to play games with my own kids! Thanks Rodney, even if you never see this, I really appreciate the videos and family nature of the channel as a whole.

I purchased this a while back as I have an interest in LOTR product (my license plate even reads FRODO). But after watching one video by a well known game reviewer I set it down as it looked far too complex. He made the strategy portion look arduous and slow. However I just now looked into videos and found this very old one and since you have a way of simplifying the hardest games I decided I will drag it out and attempt a solo game. Sometimes the teacher makes all the difference between fail and success!

I am a fan of that universe, but I wouldn't say that I am a rabid fan. I've read the books, including the ones not part of the movie series, but I haven't studied the material closely enough to say I could assess how accurate the flavour text is. Much is from the books I think. Feels right to me.

Ah perfect, was just thinking, I'm not buying this game unless Rodney has a video on it! Now I can time travel as well!

@WatchItPlayed 2 года назад

Indeed - we're going way back for this one :)

Score! "Your order of Lord of the Rings: The Card Game has been shipped". I can't wait for it to get here. BTW I hear arrrr when you say card but your "aboots" crack me up lol.

Another game I had no intention of buying until you showed the game play. I have the base and two expansions so far.

@WatchItPlayed 2 года назад

Hope this is one you enjoyed!

@shaneannigans 2 года назад

Will you be doing an updated version of this video like you did with the Arkham Horror one?

@WatchItPlayed 2 года назад

Thanks for the interest! I talk a bit about that here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-EdtDuvIUa6A.html&t=342

Very clear and concise videos. Excellent. I've been out of the card 'game' for a long, long time; could you tell me which card sleeves you're using for this game...? I found some old ultra pro sleeves that just fit (the top of the card is level with the sleeve)

@WatchItPlayed 9 лет назад

Beyond The Lens These ones are the clear Dragon Shield ones. A little pricier, but very good.

@beyondthelens9042 9 лет назад

***** Thanks for that. I guess the 'shadow' cost of buying sleeves is a burden we all have to bear if you care about your cards...

Awesome overview. I think you really covered all the bases here. As much as I love the Tactics deck, I hope you don't choose it for this solo adventure, hehe. It can be brutally difficult without a 2nd player helping out, as I'm sure you know! Also, it looks like you assembled your Threat Tracker upside-down! Those two dials simply need to be switched, hehe.

@WatchItPlayed 2 года назад

It still bugs me that my trackers are assembled that way :)

@ryanheckel37 6 лет назад

hey Rodney, I know this video is around 6 years old, and when you made this video I bought this game because of you, and I still enjoy playing whenever I can, My question is do you and Pep play this game still?

@WatchItPlayed 6 лет назад

Hey Ryan, glad to see you enjoyed the video. I should warn you, I wouldn't assess anything on how often I get to play games (my schedule with the show often means I'm not playing games as frequently as my interest in them allows). Let's put it this way, I still buy product for the game, for when I do get some downtime.

The cards are possessed! They keep moving on their own!

@thepolymathbroad6489 Год назад

I just bought a used 2nd edition version for under $30 with shipping and tax on Noble Knight Games (I believe the same edition you're using here). I love MTG but it's such a money suck! As a massive LOTR fan, I'm pretty excited about this. Thanks for the tutorials 🙏

@WatchItPlayed Год назад

Not having to chase random cards is certainly one of the benefits of this style of game (while still giving you the deck building and card play elements!)

@EclecticCamel 9 лет назад

I don't think I've seen one of your videos this far back; interesting to see how far it's come. Any chance of revisiting the game as a lot has changed in the past 3-4 years?

@WatchItPlayed 9 лет назад

It's not likely to happen, as I want to be able to teach as many different games as possible. So many games - so little time!

@EclecticCamel 9 лет назад

***** I hear that. Too many games, not enough time. I've been considering making videos simply because this show is the only one I've found with an adequate level of depth on the front end. There's definitely a need for these! Keep it up!

Hi Rodney, thanks to your series, I was able to complete my first game. I played the initial scenario, Passage Through Mirkwood, using the lore set. What a slaughter!!! I only managed to get 2 progress tokens on the main quest, 1A, for the entire game, until my threat level reached a mortal level of 50. This game is tough!!! I have a question about a treachery card I came across, Caught in a Web, when revealed, it attaches to one of your heroes, causes your hero to exhaust, and they can't ready unless paying 2 resources. Does this effect last indefinitely? That was so bad. I mean, let's be honest, ultimately it wasn't going to matter much, as I felt like I had no chance. I'm going to try again using a different set. Perhaps the tactics sphere of influence, which you used during your video series.

@WatchItPlayed 8 месяцев назад

Caught in a Web is tough! You played that right. And you're also right: the game can be challenging, but I think you'll find you get better as you play. All the best :)

@rssy3819 3 года назад

Thanks for this i couldnt for the love of god figure it out from the guide how to play this probably coz im just dumb

@WatchItPlayed 3 года назад

Watch It Played ive only just started getting into board games like these can you recommend any good 1 player games that would be available in the uk in the genre of swords and wizards adventure

@jimmykonings231 6 лет назад

Helloooo, thanks for the tutorial. There is however a thing I dont understand. 1) If you are doing the first mission from the starter pack, and you finished quest 2A (which says: " go to one of the two 3A quest cards at random ") since there are 2 different 3A quest card. I was wondering, am I allowed to choose one quest or do I have to pick it blind (at random)? 2) If you play a game with 2 players, and you pull a treachery card which says "attach this card to the player with the highest threat level" while both players have the same threat level... Should it go to the first player or are we allowed to choose a player?

@WatchItPlayed 6 лет назад

1) It is chosen randomly. 2) The first player selects the target of the effect from among the eligible options.
