I brought it for my arkham horror cards, they fit perfectly and it looks amazing.
Got a bag for the tokens, but it's just big enough for all of them. Could be bigger.
The Lord of the Rings: The Card Game is a cooperative adventure game in which the players attempt to complete a scenario, each with three heroes of their choice and a deck of allies, events and attachments to support them. Each round, players send their heroes and allies to quest or to fight with enemies that engage them. However, as the heroes and allies exhaust after questing, defending, or attacking, the players' options are typically insufficient to deal with everything at once. Therefore, players need to determine whether it is more urgent to quest and make progress in the scenario while the enemy forces gain power, or to take down enemies while making no progress, not knowing what will come next.
The Lord of the Rings: The Card Game is the base game of a Living Card Game for which new adventure packs are released monthly. The base game contains three scenarios, twelve famous characters from the works of J.R.R. Tolkien (including Aragorn, Legolas, Gimli, Denethor and Eowyn), and four pre-constructed player decks. Players can either use one of these decks or construct their own deck to increase their chances to be succesful in the more challenging scenarios. The monthly adventure packs contain a new scenario, a new hero, and new player cards to be used in their deck. The base game is for 1-2 players, but with an additional base game the scenarios can be played with up to four players.
Although this game is set in Tolkien's Middle Earth, the scenarios do not represent scenes from the books, but rather take place in the seventeen years from Bilbo's birthday until Frodo's departure from the Shire.
The scenarios from saga-expansions do represent scenes from the books. Saga-expansions will form the Campaign Mode so that you can play all the saga quests that deal with the trilogy (+ Hobbit) together in one marathon campaign.I have played this a lot solo and co-op with the wife (one of her favorite games).
I never really played games where you have to build and plan a deck out in advance of actually playing (e.g. Magic). I wasn't sure I would enjoy it or not - but its actually a lot of fun to do that. You can spend hours fussing and planning over how you want to build your decks. Great for obsessive types.
If you know you don't enjoy deck construction games like Magic the Gathering, then you're probably going to want to skip this one or rely on a friend or use pre-made deck lists others have made.
Key Points:
- adjustable difficulty level
- tons of replayability
- tons of different content available
- approx 1 hour play time per scenario
- expensive (to get enough cards to build decks)
Great game (Although pricey if you go in for a lot of the expansions) which has a surprisingly thematic merging of story and card mechanics. Perfect if you like to deck build or if you just want to see what would happen if Eowyn, Denthor, and Gimli teamed up to fight a troll.
