A very tense game where you want to delve deeper in the dungeon to reach the final boss. It feels impossible at times and then you suddenly manage to do the impossible which is an amazing feeling. Very enjoyable. It made me buy the whole trilogy.
This is a great adaptation of 7 Wonders Duel to the Lord of the Rings story. There are multiple "instant win" criteria based upon alliances with races (akin to the science win in 7 Wonders Duel), the race to get the One Ring to Mount Doom (akin to a military victory in 7 Wonders Duel) and some all new "board presence" criteria.
I like the 20 Strong game system. It is a very good system for solo play. It deserves five stars. The missing fifth star relates to the shipping method, which was through a shipping company which has no real-time delivery tracking, no estimated delivery times, and therefor makes deliveries difficult to plan for.
Quality of the game is great! Box and packing made sure it got to me safely! We LOVE BGB!! Thanks ever so much!! This will be a great addition to Dice Tower East :)
