That’s awesome, welcome to the game. Those tokens are Fantasy Flight brand “gaming tokens”. I bought them from my local game store, but I’ve seen them on miniature market’s website as well in the past.

Yeah, I ended up switching to the Sleeve Kings brand “War of the Ring” compatible sleeves. A little thinner of a sleeve, but a much better fit to the card size.

That would have been helpful. I couldn’t remember for certain during the play through so opted for the less forgiving alternative on any rules questions to be sure I wasn’t giving myself an easy win. I typically do that when playing, but even more so when on the camera when it’s harder to pause to look up a rule. 😂

Bit late to reply, however, the rules state that, in this type of situation, players should always choose what's worse for them, in this case, throw Beorn back into the deck.... I think.

@@Primus_prime_time Yep, the "Grim Rule". Makes victory that much more enjoyable!

Unfortunately I couldn’t say. I didn’t like how the minis fit into the insert so I tossed it before I sleeved the game. I have another video showing my DIY organization for the game. I just used two of the “Ozark Trail Medium Swirl Tray Fishing Tackle Box 3600” from Walmart (one for each player’s minis, dice, tokens, etc.). What I can say is the sleeved cards fit into the box nicely with that solution.

No they don't fit back in the standard insert very nicely. They do however fit in the WOTR card tins very nicely

Thank you! Appreciate you watching and subscribing.

You’re right, looking back I can’t think of any reason I removed those here. I guess at least it wasn’t adding too many to cheapen the victory, haha.

Good catch! Thanks for watching and the feedback.

Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching.

Mayday “almost-a-penny” standard card game sleeves. Much better fit than regular penny sleeves, but didn’t break the bank to sleeve all the player cards in these.

@@wolfgame_tutorials thank u

@@wolfgame_tutorials they look so brittle. rather use dragon shield clears.

Yes, but I believe just in the Kickstarter edition (and I believe in the wooden upgrade pack I think they sell).

For the price point Sleeve Kings are my go to, but they do have more space up top then some. The mayday almost a penny sleeves are a thinner sleeve that do have less space up top for about the same price or a little less. If you want to go more premium, GameGenics sleeves I’ve found have very little space at the top.

@@wolfgame_tutorials I agree, GameGenics have very good sleeves. I've only found this problem with the standard size. The mini American is perfect, do you know if European or tarot sizes are loose at all?

@@youngcoco4445 I’ve not used the euro size of the sleeve kings brand - I already had a number of Mayday euro sleeves on hand. The tarot size seemed a great fit on the Arkham horror cards of that size that came in one of the expansions.

Yes, but just because of the northern tracker’s card ability to add progress to each location in the staging area specifically.

Great playthrough! And Gandalf never showed up to help, but help came from other places… I am in campaign mode, and have to rescue Eowyn (ouch tough). Took me many retries and a little luck of course but enjoyed watching your takedown of the quest!

If you pause at the 9:44 mark of the video, you can see the deck list. This one is from the revised core set learn to play manual. There is also a lore / tactics deck in the book that I use for the Journey Down the Anduin play through. Happy questing!

Great thank you. I'm racking my brains on whether to get this or marvel champions 😆

@@connorwright26 both awesome games. I’ve had both but ultimately just kept this one. I’m a huge Tolkien fan, though, and a casual marvel fan, so theme was a big part of it. Pick your poison I guess 😂 Ultimately any time I played Marvel I felt I’d have preferred the trip to Middle Earth instead. LOTR feels like thematic questing to me, which I love solo and multiplayer, and Marvel feels like a big boss battle, which is better multiplayer imo. Deck construction is also much lighter in Marvel, whether that’s a pro or con depends on your preference.

Thanks! And yeah, I’ve played two handed occasionally, but usually feel it’s less overwhelming and more enjoyable for me playing a single deck. Was very happy to find a solo deck that worked for this. And you never have to trigger an ability unless it has the keyword “Forced”, but if you trigger the ability you have to trigger all parts of it as written if possible. Son of Arnor doesn’t mean to skip straight to combat, though, he just has you pull an enemy from the staging area or from being engaged with another player to engage with your heroes. This lets you pull the enemy’s threat out of the staging area before questing, and then combat happens at the normal time during the round.

@@wolfgame_tutorials Makes sense. I've always been hesitant to play Some of Arnor because I thought it forced engagement (and subsequent combat) which I was almost never prepared for. But this makes the card much more useful.

Thanks for watching!

Because you quest with 4, 4, and 1, and you reveal the King spider which brings the threat to 5...and then only put 3 quest counters on the quest... I'm trying to learn the game, and I'm sorry for nitpicking, it's just bugging me lol Great video though! Thank you so much for the time you put into this!

Good catch - that was just a mistake on my part - I should have placed 4 progress questing for 9. This was my first play through video, so was easily confused trying to pay attention to to many things at once, I guess 😂

Yh i'm not understanding the location part properly

Thanks for watching! If you mean 35:56 - the location, once traveled to on a previous turn must be explored before progressing through the quest. Essentially it takes the place of the quest until it’s completed. In this instance, Eowyn was questing with 4 willpower, and there is a new location revealed in the staging area with 2 threat. This allowed me to put the difference of 2 progress on the active location. I then discarded a card as instructed on Eowyn’s card ability to add one more progress and satisfy the location’s requirement of 3 progress so I could discard it.

@@wolfgame_tutorials ah that makes sense, thank you so much 😊

Thanks for watching.

@@wolfgame_tutorials Ya. Sorry about the negative comment. I get that the point of the cool visuals is to try to make a hype intro. But most people come to a how-to-play for efficiency over reading the rules from a rulebook. Animated visuals generall makes things faster and more clear than written text, but f it takes more time than reading the rulebook why am I here?

One correction to your corrections. Horn of Gondor only triggers when a character is destroyed, so Gandalf leaving play at the end of the round would not trigger it.

@@asyncritus The card says "After a character leaves play" at 8:16, but apparently this was nerfed at some point with an errata.

@@JMise Yeah, it was. The revised core set has the new wording on it.

Thanks! I got the artwork playmats you see in my videos from miniature market - they are the Fantasy Flight official playmats. I believe Gamezenter just did a reprint of all of them. The map playmat I bought from this Etsy seller: www.etsy.com/shop/MCustomInk Doesn’t look like this item is still up on the shop, but imagine you could message to ask about it.

Thanks! And yeah, Steward of Gondor gets kind of ridiculous in the end when I don’t have enough cards to spend my resources on 😂 💰 💰

Thanks! And yeah, was a bummer to realize I messed up the threat when I went through to edit the video 😂

I actually haven’t tried anything beyond the base game. Do you have a recommendation for a favorite expansion?

I haven’t used them. I would guess/hope they fit similarly well to these, and are probably a little thicker. I personally would not want to store my cards separate from the rest of the game, though, and those collectors card boxes wouldn’t fit in with my storage solution, so these sleeve kings work better for me at 1/10th the price.

Glad to be of help!

Thanks for watching, and for the feedback! I was experimenting to find the best setup for a new microphone and and didn’t catch some of those uneven segments until too late. 😅

Thanks for watching, and for the subscribe! I’m glad you enjoyed the video.

I appreciate that, and I’m glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching!

I appreciate the compliment, thanks for watching. I’m planning to have Lord of the Rings LCG be a long term, consistent series on the channel because it gives me a chance to play this game more. 😁 So eventually I hope to have covered all the expansions!!

I’ll continue adding future play throughs of expansion scenarios to this playlist: kzbin.info/aero/PLPcCRNNsanFeMadvFuI2arGlddCoQWTe-

Thanks for watching! They are Fantasy Flight brand gaming tokens. I got some at my local game store, and some more of them here: www.miniaturemarket.com/ffgffs14.html?adpos=&scid=scplpFFGFFS14&sc_intid=FFGFFS14&gclid=CjwKCAjwx46TBhBhEiwArA_DjKzvp7K4Vo3uZJ3uV05HDisaATkGWdS8iNjgfk7WSAPpbPQPJRKufBoCl6QQAvD_BwE

I appreciate the clarification! That’s good to know. I try to choose the more difficult options for these play through videos when I have a doubt. Love that I’m always learning something new to this game. Thanks for watching!

Beating Dol Guldur true solo with making things unnecessarily harder for yourself is an achievement! I believe you also didn’t have to put the Orc Guard at 36:10 as you have just resolved a quest, and those guys enter at the beginning of quest phase.

@@amcieks thanks! Playing this deck has made this quest much more fun than any of my previous plays of it. And you are 💯 right - I somehow ignored the “beginning of each quest phase” written on the quest card when I read it. Thanks for watching and for catching that mistake!

​@@wolfgame_tutorials two days ago I started playing the game, I was attacking strong (all) creatures with only one character at a time not ignoring the defense attacking with the ones after the first... On another subject Is it legal to ignore defense with ranged attacks(yew bow)?

@@X02switchblades yeah, I remember doing the same my first few games, not realizing attacking with multiple characters at once you only count the enemy’s defense once. You can also only attack each enemy once per round. Regarding ranged attacks - they allow you to attack an enemy engaged with another player, but otherwise all other rules of combat are the same. Some cards, such as Gandalf, will have an ability that says “deal X damage” - and means you can deal that amount of direct damage, ignoring the enemy’s defense.

Thanks! I had fun making it. 😁

Much appreciated! Glad you enjoyed it!

Awesome! I’d love to check it out. This is one of my top games from 2021 for sure.

😁 of course!

It’s one I think you would like!

😃🧙‍♂️

Come hang out and we will play it!

Thanks 🙏

😁

Yes! I love the history portion of the tule book that explains the events behind each card’s picture.
