Asmodee The Lord of the Rings The Card Game REVISED CORE SET - The Ultimate Adventure Awaits in Middle-earth, Cooperative Strategy Game for Kids & Adults, Ages 14+, 1-4 Players, 30-120 Minute Playtime

Phenomenal game. Tight design, tense and exciting gameplay. Punishing and rewarding if you build your own decks. Even with just the base set, you’re getting a lot of value of money, high variety in decks, and impressive replayability as you refine your deck for each quest.

Best LOTR game on the market. Great co-op, now revised and (optional) campaign ready. The grand-daddy of living card games. I wasn’t into the monthly release schedule, but I’m happy to join up during the revised reprint at the end of the run. Less filler and you get what you need.I will say, you’re going to want expansions. Get this on sale so you have cash for more great content. You don’t need everything, but you will want some.Don’t be nervous about deck building, they have pre-built options that you can learn to modify instead, in this box.

This game is quite complex, but in a good way. There is real weight to your actions, so it makes you think about how you build your deck and what you do during each phase of a round. This may not be for everyone, but I find it extremely fascinating. For nerds like me who love Lord of the Rings and tabletop games, this is extremely giftable. I like this a lot more than the board game from the same publisher, because the board game requires an app to play it. It also seems easier to set up and bring new players into, especially if one person already knows the rules well. The rules are complex, yet simple enough that one person knowing the rules is enough to be able to guide the other players and they will still pick it up relatively quickly. As for the value of the game, I’ll admit that I was a bit disappointed by the contents of the box for the size and price; it could literally have been in a box only half the size it comes in. On the other hand, I thought for a moment on how much money I spend on trading cards and collector’s cards, and ultimately this does end up being much cheaper than the others. Also, recognizing that as it is a licensed IP likely makes it cost what it does. All factors considered, the fantastic theme of the Lord of the Rings and the fun gameplay mechanics, I think it is well worth it. As a new player, I plan on buying the Fellowship of the Ring expansion as soon as it comes out.

I played this game with my wife and loved it. We are looking to get some of the expansions. Big lotr fan, very satisfied.

Exactly as shown in the description.

This game is hard to learn. There is initially too much going on and it is hard to see the forest for the trees. It is worth sticking with it until the basic gameplay becomes automatic. At that point it becomes truly enjoyable. It is good for puzzle heads, who like to think hard.I do wish that there were more adventures in the base game. This game and all of it's expansions is/are overpriced. You will very quickly want to buy expansion materials. So if you can only afford the base game, I strongly recommend you go for a different game.The game deserves 5 stars once you get used to playing it. I took a star off for being overpriced and under-adventured

Love the have. Came faster than expected.

This was a gift for my future son-in-law. He was happy.
