Hi. Have you played any more puzzles? I think it is important to know if they become challenging at some point or they remain too simple before anyone buys this. I wish this review had been made after playing a lot more. Can't really judge a campaign game by playing a quarter of it. Thanks.
@WhachachasTabletopWorld7 күн бұрын
@enriquebonis6041 I wouldn't call this a campaign game. There is no impact from one game to another. It is difficult, from, an enjoyment standpoint to play through every puzzle as quickly as possible in order to post a timely review, although yes it is useful to have a clear idea of the game, perhaps I should have called this "initial thoughts ". I do think this is well worth it, the puzzles do get more challenging, still have not finished them all, I think im about 75% of the way through, but all in all this is I believe a great value for the time and monetary investment. Hope that helps thank you

Thanks a lot. I didn't want to pull the trigger if it stays too simple. It felt it might take longer to grab the pieces and set the puzzle up than to solve it 😂 This would be perfect for an app on a tablet if they are quick solving puzzles. I am still so so about it. Thanks again

I don’t mind how they look up close as long as they look good on the table. That’s when I started to enjoy painting them more.

Got into the game. Only played once so far. I think we got super lucky in our game too as pretty much most of the shadow cards were locatiosn or events. I think at most we got hit with one discard attachments at the very start when I had no attachments, and on the last stretch of the adventure got one that exhausted one character from each player, and one that increased threat by 4. Those event cards with Eye of Sauron on them never were drawn for their printed effects 😂 Deck building options are quite limited. Only played one game, but in that game we got through about 14 cards each. 14 out of 50 cards. I feel like 50 cards is a really bad minimum limit, unless the game was designed around putting as much randomness in as possible. I seriously hope there are enough cards to mitigate this bloat. I feel it's a poor design choice to make fillers a prerequisite, even if those fillers are card draws. How much milling happens for a player deck because of the encouter cards? Players don't lose if they have no more cards to draw from a deck, so what really is design point of a 50 card minimum limit? Heck I feel 30 cards would be a great number if I'm never going to get through 30 cards in any one adventure. So back to limited dcek building options. I'm still waiting on a bunch of stuff. I practically ordered all the starter decks. I only have Rohan and Gondor atm, as well as the core box, the Mirthwood expansion, and the mindly useless Angmar heroes box (mildly because there's nothign really there for Rohan, but it may be useful for Gondor when I get to looking at the cards). Besides the rest of the starter decks, I still am waiting for the Fellowship of the Ring Saga, Two Towers Saga, Dream Chaser heroes, and the Angma quest box. i'm looking for some wonderful cards for various decks. I prefer mechanical theme over lore theme. Rohan suffers from not enough resources to play cards, and because of deck bloat is unable to consistently get cards needed (and yes I have card draws in the deck but the bloat also makes those cards hard to come across). I am probably not going to be able to build a fun Valor deck yet since I've seen some cards that make the deck work and I don't have those. the one deck I really want I'll be waiting for a while since that was ordered overseas (Silvans) just because I love cards coming in and out of play to do stuff. Would be pretty cool if those elements from Rohan and Silvans could have been combined but these effects are very singular in approach. Even Ñoldor with either Silvans, or Rohan would have been an interesting mechanical mix. haven't seen many synergies for that to work consistently and smoothly. I'd probably just focus on making a few decks that never get changed (given how many games I play). On play effects deck, on leave effects deck, discard pile effect deck, a swarm deck, and a valor deck. So basically Silvan, Rohan, Ñoldor, Dwarf, and Gondor. Maybe two fun decks based around fellowship for Lord of the Rings trilogy (although I see the final chapter missing 🤔)
@WhachachasTabletopWorld6 ай бұрын
Thanks for watching! I would suggest of course to play more to get a better understanding of the game and I think you will find it more consistent. Second if you find you don't see enough of your deck or find your deck inconsistent try watching a playthrough on KZbin or go to ringsdb.com where there are thousands of decks to try that others have made, you can even make an account and sort them by cards you own. I think you will see people playing and building very consistent decks. Silvans are my favorite archetype, I also have a video about archetypes, if you are curious. Have fun if you decide to stick with the game and good luck

There have been moments in my life in which I have felt that I was wasting my life gaming, that I should have been doing more productive "endeavours" instead. But later on I discovered that I was going through a rough patch, and thay it wasn't the hobby per se, but me. Sometimes we might be a bit depressed in general and not know it, and the problem is not in the hobbies we have or the activities we pursue, but some underlying issue that we are going through. Some other times we just get burned out and need to try different things or take our life into different directions. I've come back to gaming many times (recently introducing board gaming), after trying out different things and it still stands out to me as one of my preferred activities. The thing that has contributed the most to me enjoying games like I were a child again have been my gf and my friends. During my teens I had to almost hide the fact that I was into games, as most of my peers dislike them or would think I was a geek (which I was lol). It wasn't until university where I meet like minded people who enjoyed the hobby as much as I do. And the fact that I could share the hobby actively with other people made me feel really happy, which reinforced my love for the hobby. I think it's very important to have good friends to play stuff with, like the game being good is not enough. I rather play a silly simple friend with good friends than a very interesting complex one with random people. For example, my gf also games, and I've played many times with her, both video and boardgames. This simple thing has been a blessing to my life, as It's the most fun I've had in years. I plan to play with her through the lotr lcg, as we are both big fans, and I'm thrilled about the fact that I can do it. To conclude, I would say that if you love or care for something (by you I mean whoever reads this), find people who also love it, and you can love it together, which is the most wonderful thing ever.
